      then don’t

      literally, just don’t. You don’t need to care, nobody is asking you to care. It may seem brash, but sit down and think about it for a bit.

        Tons of people are asking me to care. They say that I’m not a good citizen if I don’t pay attention to the news, even if it upsets me.

        “If you’re not angry you haven’t been paying attention.”

          ask them why they care if you care.

          Ask yourself why you care if they care.

          unless the problem is directly related to you, there is simply very little that can immediately be done about the problem, and if there is very little that can be done about it, do the minimal amount of effort needed to accomplish something and move on, or simply don’t worry about it.

          Not everybody in society has to care about the same problems. Find something that you can make a difference in, and make a difference in that thing. You’ll be doing your part for society.

          Be mad about things that you can be productive on, not things that you can’t be, otherwise you can’t be productive.
