I will offer some honest words.
Don't use up your empathy on things that could otherwise be ignored.
Have you heard of the author Dr. HAHA Lung?
Check him out. Seriously.
Go to Barnes and Noble.
Grab a copy of Dr. HAHA Lung.
Develop your Mind-Sword.
Learn the Dr. HAHA Lung parable of "the last can of beans."
It goes like this (understand, I am typing from memory, so I am not exactly quoting from the book. Dr. HAHA Lung's ultimate purpose of the story is contained in bold...)...
Heh-heh-heh.
The Last Can of Beans
It is the end of the world.
Or, rather... the end as we now know it.
All-out chaos has broken loose.
A new species has evolved, and has taken over the planet.
Many humans are dead.
You and your family are hiding in a bunker beneath the surface. Although many humans have died, the smart ones, the capable ones, the ones who can think on their feet...
These guys and girls survive by occasionally going to the surface, and fending for the rest down in the bunker. Not all those in the bunker have the capability to survive on their own.
However, the smartest - and, in some cases, the fastest and the strongest - went to the surface, to fend for themselves.
These humans could interact with the New Species. In fact, the longer they did so, the longer they spent away from the inept humans beneath the surface... the more powerful they became.
Some of the surface survivable humans began to reason thusly: If we spend more time away from those beneath, the powerful we become. Logically, the conclusion is: You can help your friends, those who just can't keep up with you, better by being more powerful.
Dr. HAHA Lung puts it like this:
You're hiding underground. There is one can of beans left. Who do you give the can of beans to. Your wife? You son? Your little girl?
No.
You eat that can of beans yourself, and you go get more cans of beans.
How will you ever learn to fly if you have all that dead weight holding you down.
Love people from a distance.
Focus on money.
Makes a lot of sense. Thanks
