Not saying I'm immune but.. a few years ago i decided to stop cringing or getting "triggered". I came to the realization that other people are not that important. Nobody is entrusted in disturbing my peace. And keeping an open mind is a path to deeper understanding.
Politics for example. Plenty of extreme difference in views among the population. I remember I used to read political stuff and sometimes i'd be like "are these people insane? how could such a large group of people be so stupid, ignorant.." etc. I really just didn't get it. But then I put my ego aside for a moment and for research I took a deep dive into heavily biased media of all the popular political affiliations and social cultures. I wanted to gain an understanding how what made these people tick. And it suddenly became clear. People are largely a product of their environment. People are not born racist or religious or political. These are things people absorb from their family, peers, and local customs. You can't fault a dog for not speaking English. A dog is a dog and will go bark bark. So, see people for what they are and adjust your expectations accordingly. You can help others with your sympathetic view.
“Don't find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain” ― Henry Ford.
im glad your doing research.
whats wrong with politics? they "owe" favors ...........they are owned.
if you want a break from things try the stuff i have posted in the science section. i think they are worth while. something different than what i offer in political.
and find my thread in general "something to share" maybe you can ad something to it
