Someone once asked...

“How do I become okay with the amount of suffering on earth?”

✦

Someone answered with kindness...

I think we were never supposed to know as much as we do about the world's suffering. Don't become okay with it, but try to focus on the small things you can do to help. Even one person's suffering eased by your kindness is a benefit to the world; try thinking of what you can do rather than what you can't do.

Another soul answered...

You don't. It will never decline. Find something to take your time away from it however, like a hobby. This will not make you okay. You will never become okay with it unless you harden yourself. A hobby will distract you.

Another soul answered...

realize there's great beauty and kindness. i feel the pain and guilt of the suffering as well, but find the joys in your life and notice other people's joys. when someone smiles, laughs, or has fun it can make us feel good too. also try to be kind, nobody can "fix" all the suffering, but we can make each other suffer less through kindness

Another soul answered...

Just accept it. You can't control the action but you can control you're respond to it. Don't remember the exact quote but I believe that I can actually control my emotions I decide if I'll let myself be sad or if I'll let myself feel the pain. Hope you get it
