Ignorance is Bliss

Everybody reacts differently when they hear about something bad that has happened or is happening. Some people choose to ignore it and not do anything about it because they believe it doesn't affect them. Others become very upset about it, and do eveything in their power to make others aware of the problem and try to fix it. I can't really put myself in either of these categories because it depends on what the problem is. If it is something that has been happening for years, and is happening very far away (like the starving people in Africa) i know that everyone is already aware of it, and there really isn't much that I alone can do to help, so I usually don't really do anything about it. But if it is a new problem, that not many people are aware of and I think it's very serious, I will tell everyone I know about it, and do whatever I can to help.
