Listen, I agree if someone is relentlessly sad/negative, but I'd like to underline (as you've mentioned) some people are still in the fight. Don't abandon those, they have a lot of potential for net positive for this world.

I do think peoples pain is somewhat my responsibility, but choosing to what extent will not take your own vitality is so complex.
