    Generally speaking, be upset when super shitty things happen to people regardless of nationality.

    I've been upset since the moment I saw the people in Yemen starve. They're not in a good position but I can't do shit so worrying about it only hurts me.

    Worrying isn't about hurting other people. It's about being emotionally invested in the world around you, a process that requires negative emotions.

    What does that accomplish?

    It doesn't have to accomplish anything. Emotions don't have to be productive to be justified. They're a part of life and a part of being human, and you'd do well to accept that.

    It does have to accomplish something otherwise I'm worrying for no reason which is self-harm at that point.

    It literally doesn't and no one owes you a justification for their own emotions. Mind your business

    no, you are supposed to see the bad guys as lower than animals, the reason i don't shed as many tears for the Russians is that those on the front have a chance to flee and surrender, and many people do take it

    The people who claim Lemmy users aren't assholes like Reddit users are the ones downvoting this comment.

    Eta. When I made this comment the one above was at -5 and that's confusing to me.

    Be upset. Always. It's what good people do!Never allow yourself to be happy because you have peace, for there are others who have no such opportunity for peace. People are always suffering, so why choose to be a discompassionate monster by just being okay with what is going on in your own life, when you could scroll past images of other people's misery and do the virtuous thing of getting upset.
