I totally agree with you. We should apply the Stoic philosophy and mind our own business and definitely not to get upset by what other people do and think. Those actions, tweets barely affect our life. And even if they do, if we can do something about them, then let's do it, if not, why to bother?

This is a huge point in this space that I absolutely agree with. We all would do well to remember that many of these people are entertainers that do not affect our daily lives one bit, or leaders of business, politics, or industry that we can only sway so far by our actions. Not to say we can do nothing, but we live in a world where we no longer pick a very select few battles to wage, but rather mobilize to every cause with vigor. The issue is, human vigor has its limits. Pick your battles if they are worth fighting and fight them the way you see fit. But quality always wins out over quantity.
