I’m at the point where I embrace what I believe is known the serenity prayer and go about my business. So much of this stuff is truly out of my control and my sphere of influence and staying spun up about things I can’t change is an exercise in frustration and futility. I do what I can about the things I think I should and then I let it go and move on to the next item on my list. I don’t know any other way to live and maintain my sanity at the same time.
A friend of mine was killed in a deliberate head on collision. A woman left her house drunk and told her husband she was going to kill herself by driving into oncoming traffic. Mission accomplished and a horrible tragedy for my friend and his family. Driving is an absolute nightmare - I'm on guard constantly. People don't even pay attention for oncoming traffic when getting in and out of their cars. People sit at green lights for prolonged stretches routinely - I've never used my horn this much. I try to drive as little as possible, though it's tough b/c it's a big part of my job.
