Divka, I know how you feel. I used to walk around and pretend i was invisible when i was younger because i wanted to see things from a different angle.
I know that peace within the world can come from inner peace, which is so hard to keep stable, esp when we are so affected by the things around us.

Have you ever heard of those mass meditation sessions where thousands of people gather and pray with love and meditate on good vibes? They believe these vibes can be carried out into the energy of the air and reach thousands others. Even when a family or group of people come together to pray for the health of someone, it has shown to help, to cure.
So, in my mind, each of our tiny beings have a purpose in this chaos and if we can really truly believe in the healing, luminous power of love, we can change the world, starting with those directly in our path.
When i was learning a certain meditation, I used to practice on the bus with crying babies or people that i felt were sad. I would meditate and project love onto them. Sure enough, the babies stopped crying, the smiles crept onto faces. I was filled with love just knowing that not-so-knowing people need it. I've lived in poverty and other terrible situations and i know how the world tries to win with the materialistic grabby hands and unthinking thiefs of the heart. What gets me to smile in the end is knowing that i do have a place. you have a place. And you want to do good.
It might sound silly but loving the world, even sending love to trees and cats and flowers reflects love back onto me. When you are feeling like it is too much, rest assured that you are one of the lucky ones to question it, because thanks to people like you, love can be created out of thin air.



P.s. check out this poem by william wordsworth on google called "The world is too much with us;late and soon" I have always loved it and is right up this alley. I didn't know if i could paste it here....enjoy
