Right this moment, there's children dying of cancer. Teenagers, and people in their twenties too, that were living normal healthy lives, got diagnosed with cancer, and are now having existential panic attacks about the idea of ceasing to exist and the fact that they might never see the ocean again, probably won't ever get married, have kids, or maybe even need to get their penis and testes amputated (it happens). There's innocent people in prison serving life sentences without the possibility of parole. There's someone trying a noose right now that they will actually use to kill themselves with.
Personally, if there was something like this happening in the same room as me, I wouldn't be able to eat, sleep, or comprehend much.
This stuff really is all happening on my planet. There's men in their twenties and even teens getting their heads cut off by their army's enemies. People really do commit suicide and die of drug overdoses and get hit by drunk drivers and get diagnosed with ALS and fall and hit their heads the wrong way and end up with brain damage or in a coma or whatever. This is all absolutely real.
What's also absolutely real is the constant threat of the unknown nature of the future while knowing that really anything can happen, and does happen to people all the time.
Like this guy, for example:

I'm overwhelmed by all this every day. I'm always questioning why there's so much suffering in our universe/in the world.
Don't you feel all this too?
Do you empathize with those who suffer and can't live like we can, whose lives are being cut short?
I just can't understand it. Why are some people born rich and some born poor? Why do some die at 3 and some at 103?
