There are some people who are so use to be so called hero’s and may think that they’re in a position to do all things. Impossible. No person can help all people, no person can take on everyone’s problems, there is no way that one person can please everyone. Going back when working at an alternative school, remembering what the assistant Principal tole me=Tanikka Paulk, He said, “Mrs. Paulk you Can’t Save Them all.” Meaning all of the children not only in the school but across the world. A passionate person will extend themselves. Will overextend because of compassion.
There are some who are highly compassionate. There are some people who will end up being burnt out because of the desire to change the world. To make society better. Some will want others to go beyond their call of duty in order to please what some may view as the entire world. Just impossible any person “believing” that they’re able to assist every person isn’t being realistic. No person should even try to help every person in the world. There should be others willing to assist.
When trying to help too many people at one time there can be a decline. The body will become fatigued and the mind as well. No person should even expect any individual to become worn out due to trying to help all. Every person who is in a position to assist in someway should do so. We’re suppose to be helping one another. Just like many years ago when Florida suffered through a very bad Hurricane. There were so many who become helpers. Neighbors were really “demonstrating” care.
The People Pleasures
It’s the people pleasures who end up being taken advantage of and are always trying and concerned about not disappointing others. They’re the ones who are expected to just do and may not received what’s owed. No person should become a people pleasure by doing so persons will surely try to take advantage of the persons and at some point there will be burn out. There are so many who will take advantage of others and situations in order to gain in someway.
It’s better to do what one can and not worry about disappointing others. If they’re unwilling to understand that no one person can help all then that’s certainly their problem. It’s not fair when so many expect one or two people to assist the entire world. There has to be rest obtained and if a person is always busy trying to help others then they’re leaving no time for themselves. The body needs to “obtain” proper rest and it’s impossible to do so when trying to save what may appear to be the entire world.

Lovely blog
I feel u on that because I've found myself being a people pleaser. And you know what it stressed me up something crazy. I became depressed. But its hard nowadays to help anybody because people in todays world are selfish, greedy and just plan self-centered. They will take advantage of u and anybody else willing to help them. So i say do what u can if u can't u can't .God knows the heart so as long as u ok with him u cool. thank u for your post.
I'm with you on this everything so messed up
To “save the world” is just a short-hand for solving those large, complex environmental problems that involve tipping points and international dimensions. The presence of tipping points in the dynamics of global ecosystems means that before we know it it may be too late, and that doing just a tiny bit too little, or too late, is equivalent to doing nothing. Our culture, and our democracy, is not used to dealing with issues where it may suddenly be too late and damages are irreversible. The other issues our political system is preoccupied with are less critical, because if you get it wrong, or do too little, you can always go back and fix it later.
We need systems whereby not only idealists behave properly. We trivialize the future of the world by reducing it to small personal actions like daily recycling and transportation choices, without implementing systems that make good choices generic. And making an effort can be demoralizing when all around you others continue to behave just as before, as if oblivious to the challenges we face. People wait for politicians to do something, but politicians can’t do anything until people demand it. In any case they don’t know what to do without being told. We cannot let them get away with treating “the environment” as just another special interest—but we have been, and why should we think that we will get more effective with more of the same?
We must all do our little bit. But that only works if there are enough of us doing it. Even living a simple life in internally benevolent eco-communes and (temporarily) stable bioregions demands that there are not emergent properties of aggregate human behavior at greater scales. And problems interact. We cannot solve the climate crisis without solving the biodiversity crisis, and vice versa. Can we solve over-fishing without solving ocean acidification, invasive species issues (exacerbated by climate change), eutrophication and soil erosion, over-population, the economic system, and the weaknesses of our democratic systems and international governance?
Many of us would answer a simple “No.” if asked whether we can save the world. The feeble attempts to “solve” the most important issues of our times are ludicrously out of proportion to the challenges we face. Is it possible to get humanity to take necessary and sufficient action in time? Where the deadline is perhaps uncertain? If not, what institutions are needed? If the conclusion is that we cannot move humanity to necessary and sufficient action in time (with existing institutions), that too is a powerful and important message. What institutions, with what powers and mandates, would be needed to get the required steps implemented? What processes need to be embarked upon? What can we say about our ability to solve such problems?
“Can we save the world?” should be an important enough question to justify submitting it to our best thinking and a thorough review of everything we know that has bearing upon it. Perhaps it is one that we have shied away from, for fear that a negative answer would breed despair and passivity and become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Yet it is hard to see that compiling everything we know in an accessible manner could be a bad thing, and realistically assessing the mechanisms that hamstring us when we want to save the world may help us find ways to get around them.
