What do we have to do????

What do we have to do to get people to pay attention to whats going on in our world today..We are all so comfortable in our homes..Yesturday I was sitting at a local Brewery and the woman sitting next to me was reading the paper and I heard her say to her partner "The homeless problem is so sad I cant bare to read about it" I sat there thinking to my self you are right it is so sad and thats the exact reason we should be reading about it...I normally would never say anything to anyone but I couldent let it go..I leaned over and said "We should all be reading about it cause it is so sad...please dont ignore what has been put infront of you..." Im not sure if it was inappropriate but it felt right at the time...I just feel we are all connected and we have to help one another...we are not separate...I feel it in my soul we are not separate.....
