I challenge you all to ask yourself three questions before you go bananas over something:
1. Does it directly affect my welfare, or tjat of my family or my friends?
2. Does it prevent me from living my life the way I choose?
3. Does it significantly alter my perception of myself in a negative way?
If the answer to any one of those questions is yes, then by all means, do what you must. If you cannot answer "yes" with certainty (not by assumption), the answer must be no. If the answer is no, then why not stay calm until it's all over and then just accept the outcome and find a way to be happy?
Trust me, it's a much better way to live. It makes for much less stress.
Thank you all, and goodnight.
