It sounds too like it was a bit confusing and took awhile to figure out what was going on and make the connections. No, we can't take on the world's problems, only the ones that clearly seem to be "ours". I think too, if you'd been there where-ever the lady was when the kid took her bag you might have done something too if you could but getting to the problem in the middle of the story, I think I would have done the same thing; I might have wished I could have done something but I probably would not have jumped in either.
I would be grateful for the "problem" of what to do and whether I should/should not do something because of the opportunity it has given you to think about what is important to you and to remember the rough time you had has a kid with the assault on your family and house and how that has got you thinking? Sounds like you have learned a bit more about yourself and where you're coming from, want, and need?
