I understand but I can't do anything

I see. But I can't do anything.
Even if I could say "we don't see Jews here" in the ER ~ it wouldn't change the outcome!

Faced with such a powerful sense of powerlessness, what should we do?

I understand everything, and I can't do anything.
Even if I could say to my friends "I know they'll get me eventually"~ it won't change the ending!

Two friends, like two people locked in different phone booths ~ can understand each other's loneliness, but can't communicate ~

I, as another phone booth person ~ I envy the variety of their childhood education ~ painting, piano, Latin , Even in the gym class I always thought they could play so many tricks~

I don’t understand anything, and I can’t do anything~ What I can do and what I’m doing may be some boring things~
