Why do you care about the current wars?

If you have friends/family in Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Palestine, lived, work there etc ... This question isn't for you as of course you care.

This question is more for people who have nothing to do with these places, 0 degrees of connection yet always posting, protesting etc ...

What makes you care this much despite it having zero affect on you, your friends and family? This is a genuine question as I'm curious, not looking for a debate or fight. Just curious.

Thanks, please try and be kind in the comments, looking more for the philosophy of caring about outside things, not the whole Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine ideologies.

Because

Firstly, what in the heck is your profile picture bro. Why am I just seeing this

Secondly, gah dayum. Joint is so whack, please change it for my sake 😭

Thirdly, to be serious, I care because:

1. They objectively matter as humans. They have beautiful worth
2. I have feelings for every person. I still have a heart and believe in balance, effort, and justice
3. This mentality of nonchalance is actually the reason why so many problems exist. Be it laziness, time, not having immediate connection, pick your flavor of selfishness. Humans are interconnected and a whole society can come together to save another. Let alone the world
4. Silence and nonchalance encourages troublemakers. Only in western places have I seen people paving ways so hard for criminals and then siding against the victim. Be it school children all the way to how rich people rob and cheat. Some people simply DO NOT CARE and don't learn to respect others until they're forced to feel pain over it
5. I can make a difference. Perhaps if I cannot affect this immediate generarion, maybe I can affect the next and help a new set of people not grow up with a dad or mom who has no mercy in their heart because "it doesn't affect me"
