Although I am 100% in agreement with your stance on the issue, I do feel that you are far too emotionally invested.

Your comment reads like you care what random strangers say on the internet. You shouldn't.

Despite the fact that you are right, others will not agree with you, and in fact may not even give a shit about the issue at all. They're humans, and every human is different. That's why we're so damn interesting.

The more you emotionally invest in what these people have to say, the more you will be dragged down into the abyss by them. Remember, that's not their abyss, that's your abyss. You created it by being so bothered by them.

This is my take on it, and if you have a different opinion, dude feel free to share I'm happy to hear! You have to approach everything on the internet as if it were an LSAT question you have to argue from an opposing viewpoint to pass the test. Make the best argument you possibly can, but don't be emotionally invested in it!

Again, I'm on your side. But I want you to hang around for the revolution, instead of having a heart-attack before we storm the gated communities.
