It depends. If you see there is an underlying intention of growth behind the barbarism you, as a conscious observer have a choice about how you let it continue to affect your life. Buddha said life is suffering and we can learn to be in the world but not of the world.
Your comment reminds me of a paragraph I recently read from Robert Aziz's book on Synchronicity, Jung and Religion:
"Speaking with an acquaintance at his home in Kusnacht in 1938, Jung, reflecting on this problem of suffering, commented that in the East the objective is to eliminate suffering, "by casting it off," whereas in the West people resort to drugs seeking to suppress it. Suffering, Jung continued, is a serious problem, and we must seek to overcome it, yet in actual fact the "only way to overcome it is to endure it." #JPRS #p44
