When something affects you, keep in mind those who experienced something similar. Remember how frustrated they got, how they overreacted to its strangeness and complained. And where are these complainers now? Nowhere. So why act the same way? Why not leave these foreign adversaries to those who want to fight? Or why not focus on the right way to utilize these events? Because yes, you can use them to your advantage. They are materials to work with. Remember: attend to yourself, as the outside world is indifferent, and resolve to be a good person in every act.
