Recently I am more and more angry with Presidents acting like dictators, billionaires who wreck the planet in front of our eyes and another two books full..

I've been told to "'not worry about things you cannot control" over and over

But I cannot make peace with that, and my reply is:

"No, I keep worrying and fighting until I am in a way of control so I can do something about it"

The feeling of "no control" is what they want so they can get away with everything

@stux "Don't worry about things you cannot control" always made me so angry. How is it even remotely comforting? This is my life, of course I will be worried if I have no control over it.
@pluszysta Kinda yeah, maaaybe it's an issue if so many ppl think that way
@pluszysta @stux The issue with this axiom is it is sound philosophically but is where philosophy fails to move society forward. You personally can feel better, get things done, reach enlightenment, etm by only focusing on what you can control. But enlightenment doesn't kill nazis, bullets do. Read Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Aurelius, Seneca, Descartes, (maybe not Dostoevsky or Kafka they bum me tf out) but also get your "range time in" how ever that looks for you
