I can definitely relate to taking the coward's way out and becoming 'One of the Millions' like the XTC song. Going out on a limb is the surest way to test one's mental health, and I don't trust mine one bit. More and more I am finding myself consciously closed off from the news and cultivating a 'who cares' attitude to my own worries. It's a selfish, practical approach to the horrors of life that lie outside of my control.

I left out here something I believe to be true: apply your own oxygen before helping others.
