> People waste so much energy trying to change others when they could change themselves with practically no effort.

Seriously on point. A lot of the former happening on the internet, probably because it's easier to complain.

The greatest takeaway I've gotten from the stoic philosophy: For obstacles we face we can either accept them or work on changing them. Worry and complaint are unnecessary, for if we accept, then we are at peace, and if we work to change them, we are on the right path.
