Saddened

In the past, I have mainly put my focus on the human rights violations in China, today, however, as my sight was widened, I am getting saddened day by day.
There are several kinds of human rights abuses: the institutional abuse that is either enforced or sanctioned by the governments; by civilians; terrorism; and there is the kind of abuse we tend to overlook, domestic abuse.
Sometimes when I am reflecting upon the news I have read, the tragedies around the world, people's overt abuses; and people's indifference to what's happening in the rest of the world, and many of them are ignorant, and wish to remain that way.
And as a person, an individual, 1 among 6 billion people, I feel so powerless. I cannot change the legislations; and I cannot change people's opinions; and as for terrorism, I am frightened. My personal concern over the tragedies seems a waste of time.
Seeing so much injustice, sometimes I even kind of wish there really would be a hell that burns the human rights abusers on and on; but there isn't such a thing; then I am also reminded, I am not perfect, and I am a sinner myself.
Yet my saddened heart just tells me how difficult for God. The people who impose abuses are not my relatives, I do not see any connection between them and me. God created the whole world, and how sad must He be feeling to see His own creation doing harm to each other. I am only seeing the tip of an iceberg, whereas God is omnipresent, and He sees the tragedies around the world every second, and I believe He sees more bad than good.
Which just marvels me even more when the Bible tells us that the wicked will not be burned on and on and on without an end; but instead, they will be consumed away.
He is not interested in keep torturing the wicked (as much as they deserve it, some of us may feel), He simply desires to put an end to the whole tragedy of the human race.
God is great, because His heart is great, and we cannot comprehend it.
And we see it especially in the so called Christian nations.
Yes, secular countries like Japan and Islamic countries show even less compassion; but it is a disgrace to Christianity when people from the so called Christian nations show indifference to so many people suffering under tyrannies in other parts of the world. Particularly when their "brothers and sisters in the Lord" cannot worship God freely, the Christians in the western Christian nations do not really care about what's going on elsewhere. As if Yahweh was God of only them.
It is always easy to say God loves the world, but it is always difficult for us to love the world God wants us to.
