Just as we should not overburden ourselves with the innumerable tragedies and injustices that pervade us in this world we live in,

we should neither block them out by shuttering our minds with complacency, or by turning our backs towards ones crying out for help.

We need not empathize with those that suffer unjustly to the extent that it drags down our own psyche. But whether or not we hear those cries for help, regardless of how desperate we might perceive the situation to be, it does not change the fact that we have a calling. It does not change the course of action, and the course of action is always to do better—and to be better. To not approach the world and the others around us with presumptuousness and contempt, but rather with an eagerness to do what’s right and discover the truth together.
