The "place" you seek is the ineffable source of attention directly opposite the sad scenes you describe.
Said "place" is necessarily within because looking outwardly inadvertently posits a sorry-assed, allegedly free-willed sack of shit (usually referred to as an "individual") separate from all the non-self "stuff", and that lonely separation sucks ass indeed.
Said another way elsewhere:
abide in awareness
with no illusion of person
you will be instantly free and at peace
Thank you for your considered reply, but...even in the absence of ego, isn't this flesh *of* the world, embedded firmly in the web of all life and death? When that world is wounded, aren't all contained within wounded likewise? What duty, if any, does this compel?
