You put your attention elsewhere and you get caught up in a drama.  What is going on in your own world?  Understand:  there is only one Consciousness, but it has divided itself into billions of facets for the experience.  You are here for the experience of your own thoughts.  Yes, care about the whole.  Yes, send love to the whole and thus make a difference.  Yes, take action if you can, but if you cannot, then be here now.  Who are you with here and now?  Can you share love with them?  Can you make a difference and en-Joy the experience with them herenow?  Then that is precisely why you are herenow.  If that is too difficult for you to do, then there is a lesson to be learned.  Ask Higher Consciousness how best to deal with herenow and may the answers flow.  You are so very loved.
