    Is the truly intelligent thing not to be to recognise when things are out of your control and put them out of your mind

      Depends on the reaching of the action, even if the event was out of their control but going to impact them, say an invasion or war breaking out at their location it’d be warranted. However in a general sense I agree, it causes undue stress if there’s nothing directly they can change.

      People thinking like that is how we get some people fighting for rights, the current fight may not directly impact them but they can see how it’ll impact things in the near future when more rights are changed. I mostly agree with not adding undue stress but sometimes it can be difficult to know when it’s undue or warranted because it can happen quickly once the ball starts rolling.
