Maybe that’s the real problem, accepting it with “shit happens “. There are many things we should be doing to prevent the majority of these senseless deaths. And it only takes holding onto the outrage to get it done.
I think that becoming aware of all of the problems of the world via the internet has really messed us up. Yes, it is bad that this kid hit this lady and she then died. Is there anything that I can do about it other than feel bad? No. So, the arising defense mechanism is, essentially, “shit happens”. This allows me to be aware of all of the horrible things without falling into a state of despair and hopelessness.
If this event was local to you and you can take action to make that area safer, definitely go for it.
