Kind of sad that we see a person so skinny and desperate that they've lost all fear of death and empathy for others, and we make fun of it. Imagine if you were him, knowing that a bunch of strangers with magic pocket computers and obesity are cracking jokes at the inconceivable struggle your life has been in a moment of near absolute carelessness for life.
Don't get me wrong. I thought the meme was hilarious, so I'm included in the judgement. I am more making an observation of the state of things.
I feel weird.
Humanity is now cursed with knowing every bit of horror that happens all around the globe. 200 years ago you might only find out about atrocities months or years after they happened, if at all. It was much clearer then that there was literally nothing you could do about them. Nowadays if you want to throw your life away you can just buy a plane ticket to Ukraine. So now we're being much more regularly faced with terrible things we're not prepared to deal with happening somewhere.
And the truth is still that there is not really anything significant we can do. If it was happening in our backyard we might fight, but there's only so many backyards and only so much room for foolishly selfless people to lay down their lives.
The weirdness you're feeling is not a moral failing, but rather the strangeness of a world we're not built for. As much as I and you might feel for any given fight or issue, the 99% of them are not our business, and it's not morally expected of us to get involved. Lots of religions and moral frameworks and feelings say otherwise. Forget them.
I disagree. There's things we can do to help. If you have some money to spare, you can donate to charities that work in those countries, there are many. You can also vote for political parties that defend international justice and reducing inequality globally. You can also boycott companies that behave unethically in exploiting the natural resources of poorer countries. If we are talking about Somalia, I heard many rich countries' fishin boats go there to fish making it harder for local fishermen to make a living. We have a lot more power than we think. It starts with caring.
Therrrree it is… that funny feeling…
Universe tends to have a certain symmetry to it.
We are all entertainment for somebody at some point.
I get it. But these struggles like these have happened since human history.
We laugh about it because we have heard so much of this that we feel normal. Hearing about such struggles and atrocities will give us shock when hearing for forst time but eventually we get used to it.
Even then we should be able to help in anyway we can.
Even though there are really bad things in human history, there are still good things in human history and this is what keeps me happy!
Look at me: I'm the pizza maker now
