Yes I do, unfortunately there is not a huge amount I can do about it, so I do try to tune out a lot of it or it makes me feel powerless.
I've not much money at the moment so can't even do much in that respect. I do hope that some of the richer people there are (such as the soccer players who earn £100,000 a week for kicking a ball around) do give some of their money to charities and stuff, I'd really like to believe that. I guess we don't hear about that a lot, because if they publicised it they'd probably just get criticised for "showing off" but I hope they do give something back from their very privileged lives. It makes me slightly sick to see people spend money on half a dozen cars when there are other people starving.
The way I try to look at it is, I can only do what I can do, and in my immediate sphere there is plenty of suffering to which I CAN respond in some way, whether through volunteering my time or just helping someone out. I can't give much money to homeless people, I certainly can't give them anything that would fix their situation, but often I will talk to them, give them a few minutes of my time, ask them their name and tell them mine, being treated as a human being is probably something they miss as much as other parts of the life they probably once had. It makes me feel good when I do this, who knows what effect it might have on them. Even simple things like making a connection with the harried looking store clerk can make a difference, I've found.
Anyway I think that's my own solution, such as it is. I don't think there's anything strange about having an inner drive to make people happy, if everyone was happier I think there would be less problems in the world. I think the only caution is in making sure we can find ways to make ourselves happy, as well, and if that's a byproduct of helping others I don't see it as a problem!
