@ElleGray@mstdn.social as a bit of an introvert and a recluse I may think about this differently. There are very few people I would lie awake at night worrying about. The people who do lie awake at night worrying about world hunger are probably literal saints, but I don't do that. I do know there are things that should be different, awful things that happen that shouldn't. But this feels more of an intellectual thing. Is there such a thing as intellectual empathy? It makes me donate money, write letters etc.
