When we look at something across the world that causes suffering or when we look at something in someone else's life that causes them to suffer, we feel powerless. Being empathetic, we want desperately to do something to improve the situation. But we don't know how. The most crucial thing for us to understand is that we will never feel good about the world we live in, or about ourselves until we stop addressing suffering in terms of specific, isolated incidents. We will only reduce suffering if we treat suffering on this planet as a whole.
