Let it Go, Let it Flow: 7 People You Should Pick Your Battles With

That stranger that has annoyed you in some way.

So you’re walking down the street, the wind’s blowing through your hair, the sun’s shining on your face, and life feels good. Then suddenly, someone walking in the opposite direction bumps into you. Taken off guard, you look up at them and all that person does is regain their composure and keep on walking to their destination, leaving you with no type of apology or even an “excuse me.” As much as you might want to catch up with that person and teach them the home training their mother should have years ago, sometimes its better to just let it go. Life is full of rude people, and it’s not worth (best case scenario) being late for your job or an appointment, or (worst case scenario) being physically hurt or killed because you’re popping off at the mouth. So if you’re walking and a person bumps into you, or if you’re walking behind a person opening a door and they don’t hold it for you, or if someone is just staring at you for no reason, getting an attitude and snapping at them could be more detrimental to you than them.
