When we hear about the world being inflicted with murder, war, violence, terrorism, we must work on ourselves in order to feel that this is the best possible thing in our world. For these things seem evil only to uncorrected souls. Hence, there is no other choice but to rise spiritually, correct our Kelim so that we perceive all the bad things that we heard about or witnessed as good. We have to concern ourselves with one thing only: correction of our Kelim and ascent to the level that emanates the spiritual pleasure. From there we will see how good this is for us and the entire world in general.

Not that it matters; but if we don’t acknowledge evil then there will be no justice. And without justice civilization is finished. If I can cope with injustice (and I can) I don’t worry about how it isn’t affecting me. We must never lose sight of our obligation to right the wrongs and keep love, hope, and therefore, civilization alive. If all we do is worry about adverse effects of evil on our psyche, then we will keep looking for that non-responsive rabbit hole to dive into.
Cope or sleep well.
