getting you to spend so much time thinking about their situation is also taking away part of your time on something that you literally can't do anything about.

one of the first things that psychopaths do to other people to gain control of them is to fill their minds with bullshit that keeps their minds locked in sensless loops of loaded questions and wrong answers so you don't pay attention to what they are actually inflicting on you.

this is how it comes to be that what is happening, is happening, over there, and then they use that to further gain control of people to manipulate them to look at that instead of the endless escalation of deprivation and demoralization being done to the people right next door to you, and to you, as well.

much better way to spend your time and energy is how to break out of their mental prisons and avoid suffering from the misery they are causing and getting away with in your own immediate surroundings, and ultimately, helping other people is never about pushing your concern on them, it's when they come to you and collaborate.
