I've been this guy. When volunteering in Haiti, I was just... mad at the world. I hated everyone who didn't want to move to Haiti and help.
Then I started reading about Paul Farmer, who has arguably done more than I ever will but doesn't seem to have developed that same anger.
I met him once, and he recognized that you have to take time for you to be. To center yourself. Whether thats a theme park or watching TV and talking to your friends about it.
The key (which I didn't have a handle on early on in Haiti) is to find the balance you need to be able to accept in life what you can't change and to aggressively strive against the things you can.
