Quote by Anne Hathaway

Summary

This quote highlights the paradox of our supposedly compassionate nature as global citizens. Despite being exposed to news and information, we often develop a selective perspective on the world around us.

The quote serves as a reminder to remain aware, empathetic, and actively engaged in understanding and addressing the world's problems, rather than succumbing to apathy or turning a blind eye.
