Furthermore, in other words—god this makes me so mad—it's a question of responsibility. The species has loads of people to take responsibility for it, and will have an infinitely more in the future. The people who need help immediately around you? The actual world? Not so much. If you completely dissociate from your physical existence in the world and imagine all people everywhere at all times as equidistant from you, like a god, well great, but I suspect you're doing that because you're too vain and hurt and too much of a coward to engage with the world around you in all its painful reality—painful to you, because it will remind you that you haven't felt like a valid part of it YET, and you never WILL until you accomplish the Work that makes you worthy of existing—fixing everything everywhere for all time, but starting with—nothing, nowhere, ever. You'd do well to notice that you have voluntarily accepted responsibility for this on some trumped-up rational basis because that's actually EASIER than doing something once for anyone that actually exists.
