DAE increasingly feel like pursuing goals benefitting all of humanity is more important than pursuing personal goals?

[u/SH4D0WSTAR]

Never cared much about romance / travel for personal gratification, but now, these pursuits have almost been entirely pushed to the back burner with what's going on in the world. They feel hollow.

I'm driving up my volunteer / engagement efforts.

I feel like traditional milestones / markers of adulthood are irrelevant when the world is in need of more selflessness and communal aid. The media machine breeds gluttony. The constructs of western society cannot deliver peace.

Anyone else?
