This is a thread that I put together a very long time ago.

 

You may find it very helpful :)

I pulled this address for our "Reference Material"   Sticky thread.

There are some really good posts stored in there.

You could take a look :)

 

NinjaDevo put these together for the forum. I was and still am, very grateful to him. :)

Hello Rosala,

You really cannot take all the World's problems on your shoulders.

You are right, there are many people suffering horrible attrocities in many parts of the World.  There always has been since the begining of 'civilization'.  But there are also many people living in well adjusted, happy communities.  People like you and me.  There are many many of us.  The whole World is not suffering. 

If it were not for the vaste media network you would not even know about all these suffering people.  Some people have always suffered under tyranny and war but now their voices can at least, to a small extent, be heard.  

This means that the World at large can offer some tiny amount of help. It also means that people like yourself must learn to control their emotional responses to the knowledge of these terrible things.

 

Perhaps you could put your efforts into planning how you may help, either now, perhaps by fundraising, or more likely, in the future.  Perhaps you may consider becoming a doctor or a nurse and vulunteering your services when you are trained.   Or you could become a Laywer and help them by means of international Law.  Or you could be a builder or a farmer, or a great many onther professions where your services would be invaluable.  There are many things that you can do to help, but being miserable about it really does not help the suffering people at all.

Perhaps writing about it can help.  You like writing.  Perhaps you can become a journalist.  Your writing could make the voices of the sufferers heard just a little better, perhaps this may lead to others being able to help just a little bit more .........

 

--------

 

Have you heard from MathsGod at all?   I also hope that he is safe and happy and I would also really like him to return ://
