Nothing-burger! I love it. What a scope of events, what a huge and troubling conflict affecting millions who aren't me. They deserve so much, they deserve better. Me, little me, here, my problems are silly in comparison. So true.
_And_, _also_, I would add that engaging with my own problems creates room & energy needed to deal with those bigger problems. For me, for you, for the government of wherever.
I can do my little nothing-burger things, I can tackle my nothing-burgers, then I can send some money I made to a relief organization, or I can use my gifts to build something helpful that didn't exist before.
Personally I had big regrets after the 2014 conflict, and they involved wishing I had turned both inward and outward, with the inward efforts focusing on energy building & preservation as well as all the outward stuff everybody thinks is doing the "real work". We have to support ourselves, we are only human, and fortunately we can do both--work & create for ourselves, work & create for & with others.
