I reiterate that I can't care because my capacity to do so is limited:
* First priority is caring for myself. I can't care for anyone if I don't.
* Next is immediate family.
* Then it's my closest friends.
* Followed by my other friends and extended/distant family.
* After that are my professional connections: Co-workers, bosses, subordinates, clients, suppliers, and so on. They are who I derive a living from.
* Now I get to strangers I happen to meet during my life. This is actually an important group as, indeed, most if not all friendships, professional connections, and even family originate here.
* Finally, after all that, I can maybe care about strangers I have not met and will never meet during my life.
I'm sorry, my damns ran dry somewhere in "strangers in my life" before I got through them and I think that's actually being generous. I don't have any left for someone on the other god damn side of the world who is literally meaningless to me.
