Everyone in the world, now and in the future is my friend.

And if things are not good for a friend of mine, then things are not good for me.

If someone is suffering, now or in the future, where ever and when ever, and there is something to be done about it, no matter how difficult - I must do something positive, constructive, and effective.

Until everything possible has been done, I cannot try to enjoy life ; to do so is simply greedy.

Some of my friends are not doing well. So I am not doing well. I have to do everything possible to help them. When my work is done, then it is time to party.

Anyone care to help?

I am literally driving myself insane (more than before) by almost constantly thinking about them. I don't have to know them by name. I don't need inspiring pictures. I don't need any input from any where. I know they are suffering and dying. And it is my fault because I am doing too little to help them.
