Extreme weather events are increasingly putting girls at risk, say rights groups, pointing to climate-displaced families marrying off young girls in exchange for money.

The Sindh government, however, has denied reports that climate-driven economic insecurity was causing child marriages in the province.

If I could, I would hurl every single slur possible at the Pakistan Peoples Party

They single handedly keep polio alive and prevent regional ambulances from being a thing.

Started as a shit tier "communist" party which lo and behold was actually just a feudalist party in disguise.

Also responsible for the 1971 Bangladesh massacre/genocide

They were also selling the UN aid food very visibly labled "not for sale" during last years disastrous monsoon season.

I've recently lost the ability to care at an emotional level. Still evil as fuck. Not that it will change anything. This world truly only belongs to those of evil disposition.

I think I know what you mean. It's like the Internet has allowed us to share how fucked up each and every corner of the world is and it aggregates the worst of it and puts it on full display. So now I can't really feel anything when I see headlines as awful as this, I just turn into an unfeeling psychopath. Luckily my moral brain and my feeling brain are different, and the moral brain still wants to do something about this injustice, however I can.

I feel the same. It's tiring.

"Oh? Ukrainian hospitals are getting bombed? Again? Well, still sucks. Next. Oh? Palestinian children are being bombed? More of the same. Next."

Then I go on to have a normal day at work. I hate this world.

The universe doesn't care, so we have to. If you want humanity to be something that's worthy of existing, then it's not optional.

Fine, you don't have the stamina to care about this because you can't personally do something about it. That's ok.

But care about something. Care about not running the water while brushing your teeth for no reason, or about repairing some things you'd normally throw away. Care about being good company for the people you know. Care about doing things better when you spot an opportunity for improvement. Care about not making the lives of your colleagues harder if you can help it. Care about answering the questions of a child with mindfulness and consideration.

You don't have to care about everything. Everything matters, everything needs improving, but no-one can fix everything so that it's perfect.

But improve something. Take pleasure in doing it. Not everyone will do the same, but you'll be one more among millions making the world a little better, instead of worse.

This is the mindset I have to keep myself in while working in medicine. I can't save every patient. Some of them will die in my care, but that won't stop me from trying to help the next one.
