Do you ever feel like you're feeling way too much than you should be?

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the amount of pain in the world. The other day I sat on the ground and sobbed for half an hour because of the incidents in Paris, the Ebola in Africa, the oppression in North Korea, the pain of those who have lost children to Boko Haram and I felt it all and it was so great I had to cry to get it out.

I just wished I knew why I felt that way, and why other people don't. But at the same time I feel glad that I do because at least then I can feel connected to my fellow humans.

Do you ever feel that overwhelmed by the sorrow? And what do you do to cope with it?
