Right, I'll be angry for a moment if someone pulls a stupid and it affects me. Sadly this happens a lot. I don't repair my own car, sew all my own clothing, grow my own food... so I get affected by a lot of people, and not many of them are efficient. *sigh* All those passing blips on my radar have been frequent enough that I now have a chronic low-grade resentment of stupidity. This isn't wonderful for my mental health. I mean sure, I do believe the world would be a better place if all else being equal everyone were competent at their jobs and everyone's IQ and awareness-of-what's-around-them were a bunch higher. But all else is never equal. Besides, that's just not reality. I gotta live in the reality that's here now.
It's definitely a matter of picking your battles, and not letting the ones that aren't worth expending energy on take up energy.
Absolutely. And that's the trick I have to learn: how to change my mood at will. Nothing less, it seems, will work.
