JD,

There is a big difference between having an opinion and thinking anybody else cares about your opinions. It is a sort of serenity prayer type of thing. You know:

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

I try to stay with factual information or factual experience. Trying to interpret too much can lead to the confusion that causes the chaos in the mind.

One of the challenges is knowing how to read articles and sort out the truth from the propaganda or hyperbole.
