Am I just supposed to sit there and watch as all sort of injustices are taking place everywhere? What can a person do to make this world slightly better?

The massacres have been occuring through all of human history, the world does not see any years without wars and atrocities.

The question I'd ask people is how they suddenly notice when this is happening.

If you're struggling to ignore it and carry on with your life, think back to the point where you were blissfully ignorant of the suffering in the world and return to that state.
