How can we avoid getting numb? Turn off the TV. Stop reading the paper. Take the dogs for a walk. Talk to David, the old guy cancer survivor who runs errands for the businesses on the mall in exchange for free eats. Marvel together at the Nat's ten game winning streak. Let the little kids and old ladies pet the dogs. Thank the kids for being polite in asking to pet the dogs. Wave at Eugene tending his art gallery. Grab a decadent burger and chocolate stout at the Union Jack. Bullshit with Shane the bartender. And always remain aware that tomorrow is not guaranteed. Take a moment and thank a PITA chronic disease for reminding you of that. At least it works for me. Nice thoughts, Peter. Thank you.

Nothing wrong with seeing what's going on in other parts of the world or feeling empathy for those people.
If you're looking for a problem to solve, try visiting the nearest old age home and perform, or go tutor an underprivileged kid at the youth center.
p.s., A better question is, "how can we avoid getting dumb?"
