I often wonder if the reason why people become so invested in these problems is perhaps because they have something to lose?
Curious, huh? Good points. I presume you are looking in the mirror, asking others as much as you are asking self the same questions.
I ponder (when I read your post): what's this (incarnation) all for? And, sure it's about the pandemic in this thread, but it's also about so much more.
Are we trying to alleviate the suffering within/about us? Is there a difference?
I'll be the first to admit that experiencing and observing suffering causes me great discomfort. Then a question arises: what do I do about this discomfort? do I do anything? Is what I do for self, for other, for both self and other??
For me, each moment is different, and each moment carries different energies, some could be labeled STO or STS, loving or fearful ... It's a big pot o' energies for me and though I continue to try, I can't always discern one ingredient from the other yet.
