There are so many infuriating news about things happening either in my country or somewhere else. Corrupt government, unjust law enforcement, oppression, war, etc. I read such news, but often times this question appears in my mind.
"What is the use of knowing this?"
I read that a missionary has been unjustly arrested in a certain country (Near Japan, with initial N.K.). I read that my country's government is still as corrupt as ever, and they still prosper from it. Reading such news only serves to grow uneasy feelings inside me, nothing more. Even after knowing those, there's nothing I would do for them anyway because I have no power to make any changes. I'm just an ordinary civilian, and I just want to live my life to the fullest I can achieve. So I'd prefer not knowing those news because the only difference between knowing and not knowing is the uneasy feelings I have for knowing. In other words. ignorance is bliss.
Am I wrong for thinking this way? Do I have to be convinced otherwise? Is there actually any good thing for knowing such news?
