What are we really doing obsessing over things beyond our control? Am not talking about expressing concern, but showing it to the point that it affects the quality of our daily lives. Some people get so caught up that they make Life altering decisions based on factors they cannot control.
One of the major factors we have openly identified but few actively define is the 'moral decline of society'. We are now at a position where a good number of us know that something isn't quite right with where we're heading culturally, but the devil often lies in the details. Identification of the real villain has polarized us greatly along political, ethic, religious, racial, and any other identity that divides us.
It is important we guard ourselves against these catalysts whose only function seems to trigger us. Yet some will inevitably be triggered, and take extreme, irreversible actions as a result of that trigger. It is sad because these so called actions are often born out and never achieve whatever may have been the intended result. Extremism has no justification.
Whenever I personally get triggered by the news these days I try to move on quickly. There is simply no point in doing otherwise. Being selective of our battles doesn't mean we are not aware of them, it just means we have fully accepted the limits of our capacity and abilities to make a difference with every issue that we feel strongly about.
