You know sometimes you scroll past, like, a headline — some awful shit, famine or whatever — and you're sipping your fancy coffee, right? And you feel that little tug, that 'oh, I *should* be more moved by this,' but it's just... a flicker. Not a real punch to the gut. Like, you know it's terrible, you *get* it intellectually, but you're also thinking about that email you need to send or if your direct report is hitting their numbers this quarter. And you feel like a real asshole for it, even though you know you’re not the ONLY one, because who actually carries the weight of the whole damn world, really? It’s just… not how it works.
