Alright, take a park closing then. Can you be sad about that if you haven't personally raised money to finance the park?

I pay taxes. I pay for every park in my city. I pay for state and national parks too. I rarely/never use them. I have no choice. That makes me sad. I wish I could direct where my personal tax dollars were spent, but that kind of defeats the point of taxes, which are to fund the things that nobody wants to pay for (or are impractical to pay for, individually).

There are parks that are not owned by the govt.

Yes, I can't finance every park. I can feel sad about people suffering throughout the world without personally supporting them all.

I can’t finance every single open source project in the world either (I am also an open source contributor but with very small libs).
