I'll generally laugh at public stupidity by those I don't know, or get angry for a moment if they do something stupid that affects me. But to really get my attention for longer than a moment, it has to matter to me.
I used to have a real problem letting go, even of small things, because I'm stubborn, and an idiot. These days, meh, something has to really matter to me for it to cause more than a passing blip on my radar.
It's definitely a matter of picking your battles, and not letting the ones that aren't worth expending energy on take up energy. That's the basis for my recent "I'm done" post - I don't have the energy to care about that person or situation anymore, other than as new stuff comes up. And hopefully if anything new comes up it'll just be a minor blip on the radar again - I won't give her that kind of power over me to make it more than that.
It's all about who has the power - you, or the situation or other person. Minor stuff that's not personal isn't worth the time or energy. And some people feed off strife and drama, so the best thing is just to not feed them anymore.
