From my favorite satirist Mark Morford.

How To Endure Disaster Fatigue – Too much death and catastrophe and war? Spirit overloaded?

It’s tempting, it’s understandable, to want to block it all out, to take only small doses of the horrors of the planet and shun the rest like a Republican shuns poor people. The world often careens at us hot and fast and mean, and when the atrocities pile up our systems often automatically go into shock — they want shut down, recoil, and it becomes the most difficult thing of all to remain alert and compassionate and tuned in and remember that context, of course, is all you might have to get you through.
