This is just a short note to remind myself that there’s no use getting worked up about the things I think are important. I don’t even manage to live up to my own convictions, so I don’t know why I sometimes expect other people to. I am nowhere near as energy conscious as I know I should be, I sometimes put the heating on when I should go and get a jumper and put up with the cold hands. But I don’t, and other people make compromises about things I think are important too, so unless I’m going to be 100% perfect I should try to cut strange people I’ve never met some slack instead.
This hasn’t been prompted by anything in particular at the moment, just a growing general realisation that I let myself feel involved in things that I can’t, and perhaps shouldn’t do anything about. I should keep my indignation general, and not personal. I should try to find constructive ways to gently get my point across, instead of ranting at David/Jenny/whoever will listen. And that’s all I have to say about that.
