      I want you to repeat that to yourself, slowly.

      Is it just that you only care when it starts happening to you? Or is it just that since you do not know yet, you simply cannot know or care? Why not just shock your brain to forget everything that bothers you, you’ll be so happy!

        Is it just that you only care when it starts happening to you?

        not really. there are things that affect me and i care about, things that affect me and i don’t care about, things that don’t affect me that i care about and things that don’t affect be that i don’t care about. so there are things on all 4 possible categories, and this particular subject simply falls in the last one

        Or is it just that since you do not know yet, you simply cannot know or care?

        well i already know there is a war between israel and palestine and people are getting bombed. yet it doesn’t really occupy that much space in my mind, and i’m indifferent towards that, there are enough things to care about besides that

        Why not just shock your brain to forget everything that bothers you

        well i just don’t want to do that. i am ok with caring about the things that bother me
