I feel your pain so clearly and deeply. I feel it as though it were mine and of course it is. I know that as a front line light worker, you have the most chance of burn out and hurt. Your heart is in the right place but here are some things that I have learned (and now that I'm officially old - on Medicare<yeah> - I'm passing them on.) I hope you can hear them.
1) First, put on your own oxygen mask, then help the person next to you.
2) We are all here only to fail each other.
3) We are in the hands of the Goddess and we can not fall.
4) No good deed goes unpunished.
5) We are all Buddhas and Bohdisattvas awakening to our Unborn Mind...we don't have to DO anything, we simply have to BE.
6) All actions cause Karma. How we live in each moment determines the next.
I've always thought there should be 2 additional sports added to the Olympics...Fire Walking and Thin Ice Skating. 
5) We are all Buddhas and Bohdisattvas awakening to our Unborn Mind...we don't have to DO anything, we simply have to BE.
I think that is often a point of contention for those of us with similar spiritual views such as here at ASAH.
The "do'er" versus "be'er" thing.
I personally feel that there is no ultimate truth to the whole "do'er" versus "be'er" thing.
Perhaps some are here to DO and others are here to BE. I don't believe there is a blanket universal law that says we don't have to do anything but instead must simply Be. I think it's different for each soul.
I also feel no one knows for certain how the Universe works or whether there are truly any universal laws that apply to each and every human being. There seem to be so many different realities and perspectives that I personally don't know ANYTHING for sure.
I resonate more with FWWM's feeling that we must DO, though I greatly respect others, such as yourself BTTB, who advocate focusing on Being rather than Doing.
Our views about this may change repeatedly as we go through life.
I've often received the same advice as you provided here, offered with the genuine concern that we "do'ers" will burn out. We're simply all such different personality types, and, for some of us do'ers, our life force may be extinguished in many ways if we don't DO as we are led to do.
We have to Do or Be in a way that works for us as individuals and is our individual truth, at this moment in time, recognizing that it may not be another's truth, at this moment in time.

Even "doing" and "being" are very subjective.
Your point is well taken.
I try to be mindful of doing from a place of love, not fear...with action toward something rather than against what is.
Maybe semantics to some, but it is a guiding force for me, personally.
That's all any of us can do.
This whole subject gets really convoluted...what does it mean to "be" and what does it mean to "do"?
It's very subjective. To me, you DO a lot, GTRO.
I feel a strong sense of deja vu, as this is a subject that has caused me to break ranks with many "spiritual" groups to which I've belonged over the years.
I can't speak for FWWM, but when I read what he wrote, I immediately resonated. Over the decades I've met quite a few "lightworkers" who sought to "rise above" the suffering and troubles of the world...their own and others'.
They didn't want to know about anyone's suffering (and, if they did, they'd chalk it up to the people drawing the suffering to themselves and thus it's their fault). They focused on raising their vibration and just BEING. And while I was able to respect their choice to focus on their own vibration and not take a more active role in the world in a practical, down-to-earth way as I choose to do, they were very critical of people like me who choose to be activists and seek to DO things more than others to take positive action toward creating the world we choose to experience.
Honestly, I've always perceived it as very condescending. That's not what has happened here, but I'm sharing my prior experience which causes me to react to this subject the way I do.
I'm probably not explaining this well, but while I completely get the "being" and "doing" thing as BTTB described...and truly feel both ways of being in this world are of value...when someone says, "Just BE. No one needs to do anything," I have an instant negative reaction, as though people like me are being judged.
"Silly you, don't you know you don't need to DO anything? The world is perfect as it is, every thing is in divine order, it's all meant to be, yada, yada...insert platitude here."
I recognize that as my problem, not anyone else's.
I also realize that when some of us say, "We must DO something," that call to action can trigger feelings of helplessness or inadequacy in others, even though that is certainly not the intention.
Again, what the "do something" even means is very individual.
I need to make peace with this subject so I don't trigger this conversation over and over again throughout my life and upset others in the process.
"I guess my thoughts on this topic are if someone can't prepare for the end of the world, literally can't, why obsess on it? If I don't have much time I want to spend that time as normally as possible. I've wasted a lot of time obsessing on bad things that never came, can't afford that now."
And that's precisely why I, personally, focus on positive action. Working towards something better, rather than fighting against what is. There is a definitively different dynamic between the two, internally if nothing else.
I just grow weary of "spiritual types" telling me to stop trying to save the world, just be don't do...
I'm not trying to save the world. I'm trying to save myself, and this is how I do it. We're all different, we all do the best we can in different ways. If my way makes others feel superior -- or less than -- in some way, that's their problem. So-called spiritual types are the quickest to judge others, in my experience.
Again, that's not what happened here, but the initial conversation did trigger that push-back from me, hence my comment.
and agree with it wholeheartedly.
thank you so much for that!
This is likely Cheney's mentioned next "October Surprise". It must be eliminated. It -can- be eliminated. Compassion and the new world demand it. There are dark actions underway to sour the shift into dystopian energy. It must be countered. It -can- be countered. MORE LIGHT!
And I pity the person who can actually know my pain. Sorry 
Both Reagan & Ryan are Aquarians.
I'm just a tad confused.....but what' new? 
It is in Aquarius' nature to obsess on building the big picture AS THEY SEE IT.
I believe in Beck perverse mind, as well as Palin, (they are born one day apart), that's just how they see it.
You can clearly see the wonderful nature of Aquarius's feeling for all of mankind in Ed Schultz.
Perfect example.
It takes a balanced chart, or least somewhat close to one.
Palin's SUN is too emphasized in her chart = EGO
Beck's MARS/SATURN IN AQUARIUS = being treated cruely as a child, and wanting to beat everyone up intellectually.
you cant go by the Sun sign
Herman Cain (!) was speaking and afterward, did an interview in which he said "Raising taxes is wrong, it's been proven not to work" or extremely similar. As he was saying it, I searched up Reagan's track record (raised taxes 11 times) and PM'd it to the livestreamer. She didn't accost him with it but I would have
