That's very true! It's hard to not be affected by all the bad situations going on out there. I do try to mitigate that myself in searching out those more positive things going on, that typically aren't touted as loudly. The negative headlines seem to catch our attention easier.

But that 'mantra' is a great one to keep in mind, I know it's a big one for myself. "This too shall pass" :) Those Sufi's definitely understood impermanence pretty well.

TY!
