Learning about world issues sometimes brings despair and helplessness from the feeling of not being able to immediately bring change.
Even while acknowledging the good, it’s hard to come to terms with so much bad. The eternal struggle for many is how to actively engage with the problems facing the planet while at the same time maintaining stability in our own lives.
Breaking the Set gives a heartfelt remark about the great philosopher and scientist Albert Einstein’s ‘Circle of Compassion’ by reflecting on how to balance personal stability with the plight of humanity by establishing a sense of global empathy.

a fundamental learned prejudice (today) is that Einstein really was a great scientist, let alone philosopher. In fact his bogus gravitational cosmology has contributed fundamentally to the 20th hypertrophy of Venetian-style cartel oligarchy, at the expense of the Alfven model in which everything really is connected, electrically. The public photos of Einstein with Paul Warburg aren’t so rare. For relativity systematically debunked, see thunderbolts.info
Well said Abby! I wonder if you have read Karen Armstrong’s book on compassion. Also, check out this project if you haven’t heard of it already:
