I get what you're saying and I also completely understand why people have become desensitised but there's nothing more dangerous than an apathetic society.
We can't end world hunger, but we can atleast feed a poor person. We can't end child labour, but we can atleast sponsor a child's education and basic necessities.
Just because we can't end it all doesn't mean we shouldn't try and contribute to make our society a better place in whatever way we can.
I agree, and its one of the reasons I push the people around me to think about how the world works more.
I can't fix everything, but I'm doing what I can, and I try to get the passive people I can get to, to snap out of it.
You said you couldn't understand these people, but it's possible. And doing so, is step one of getting through to them.
