       You can care about distant suffering while celebrating your friend's birthday.The joy in your life isn't tainted by coexisting with suffering elsewhere.The ethical move is acknowledging reality, while being selective about what you engage with. Choose where you can make a difference with time, money, or action. You are not a passive receptor for everyone's pain.Compartmentalization isn't a moral failing. It's a necessity that lets you remain functional for the people who depend on you.
