Why Do You Care?

Literature Text
Why do you care,
if they die young?
You cannot save them,
so why do you care?
Why do you care,
if they are raped and abused?
You do not know them,
so why do you care?
Why do you care,
if their world has been shattered?
They are just Muslims,
so why do you care?
Why do you care,
what happens to them?
So what if they are
starving,
alone,
hurting?
These things happen, and you are
powerless
to prevent them.
So don't worry about those people,
they aren't even Americans.
Your happiness
is more important
than their lives.

Basically summarizing a conversation I had with a therapist who claimed worrying about people in other countries (particularly the Middle East) was bad for my mental health. According to him there's nothing I can do for them, so I'm better off just not thinking about their hardships. That was the point at which I lost all faith in psychotherapy, and most therapists.
