Adressing World and Own World Issue

I'm kinda into the cognitive type personality theory recently, and the extraverted/introverted epitome has me hooked. There are two major functions inside one's brain that distinguish their character and how a person differs from one another, and those are sometimes, a root of different perspectives, opinions, and values that humans hold. Those two are perceiving and judging function. I'm not gonna dive deep into the definition and theory for all the functions which you can easily search and read by yourself all-over the internet. But I surely thinking over and over about the extraverted and introverted feeling that falls into the judging function category, and how it works on world condition right now.

The extraverted feeling is how we make a decision based on the external value that will affect other people. Introverted feeling is making the decision based on our personal value and how it will affect ourselves. So I'm willing to address this current global dilemma and how it transforms into things that affect me personally if it's not directly.

The world right now suffers a severe condition of epidemics, climate changes, natural disasters, human-made disasters and etc. Not so long ago after Australian bushfire widespread, the unwelcome peculiar virus span all over the world. For many pieces of information that I gather, which were involuntary, given how the unnecessary terror spread by the media, this virus isn't actually the deathliest virus that ever found by mankind. The all-over hyperbolic panic is definitely making it worse than it is.

Almost three weeks ago when the Covid-19 virus outbreak found the first time in my country, people aggressively bought face-mask, sanitizer and large amounts of the food supply. Almost immediately, face-mask and sanitizer price increase up to a ridiculous amount. This panicked condition obviously misused by people who wanted to get benefits out of this. And this morning I just realized how humans use their introverted feeling to a peak of ignorance they forget how their actions can affect other people.

Despite all of my criticism above, this situation kinda affects me personally in a way that I know my own struggle is hard enough long before all this external chaos occurs. So do I need to spare my thought about the outside world or be ignorant and live whatever life I wanted because life is already hard as it is? (there is some Fi and Fe reflection over here)
Well, everybody should have a soft spot and empathy towards other people suffering and though I tried to clog my empathy for a while now, this is how I'm gonna close my a-little-depressed-blog-post:

There is a story told by Attar of Nishapur, a Persian Sufi poet about a king, who assembled a group of wise men to create a ring that would make him happy when he was sad. And that ring was inscribed with the phrase,
"This too shall pass"

Told almost a thousand years ago, our world is old, yes. but this too shall pass
