There is enough suffering in the world that I reckon with just one hour of consuming certain content on your phone you could send yourself into a depressive state.
There is enough injustice in the world that it could confine you to the foetal position for the next 60 days.
Even the noble souls who work in charity or on a cure for cancer have stumbled on the phenomenon of focused attention.
If they were to divert from their chosen cause to help all causes they would dilute the progress they made on their path.
There is only so much a heart can bleed.
There is only so much a brain can take.
One could go bankrupt donating to all the worthy charities.
Some may call it selfish to limit the suffering considered but otherwise most of us would be an inconsolable puddle of tears.
