Conflict Minerals

I'm sorry, I just can't bring myself to care. I have enough to worry about in my life, I don't need to carry other people's baggage with me. Yes, it sucks, but I am perfectly capable of living with myself, especially because I don't buy into fashion at all (and therefore don't buy jewelry). If I took everything in life at face value I would be a nervous wreck (I would probably be dead of a heart attack).

This is how the world works, always has worked, and always will work. You just have to learn to deal with it. I lived in a third world country (albeit a relatively safe one) and saw real, tangible poverty and the effect it has on society; it's not pretty but it is basically inevitable. At the very least, you will never even come close to being able to do anything about it. Sorry, but it's the truth.
