In todays digitized world which ever grows each day. We are bombardened by a hailstorm of data from every side we go to. From the handheld phones in our pockets, to our digitized watches, to our computers, especially the wide array of social media content available for consumption like Opium.

It becomes hard, near impossible to cut a plan to eliminate the digital footprint of our interactions with the information available. Our goal should not be then to kill every source of resource available, the important thing would be to pick out the signal in all the available noise.

It is so very easy to be offended by someone or something's opinion for that matter, and social media is the perfect candidate to spread negativity, not towards the outside, but to the inside. How many times have you encountered an idea so absurdly, until you look at the comments seeing people agreeing or disagreeing with the author. Our goal is to not spread negativity inwards, the mind must not be troubled with such ideas.

The real trick is to just ignore it. Fight the urge to be the main character, be an NPC instead, they only exist and don't mind anyone in the simulation. How arrogant you have to be to think that you deserve to go through life without being disagreed with?

Try and be bored a couple of times, it is fun. Our ancestors had that boon, but we modernists have technology, a thing they never had, but in pursuit of technology, we lost boredom. This is not necessarily a bad thing, such is the way of advancement of civilization, but the fact we lost it doesn't decrease the pain of loss accompanying it.

In the words of John Steinbeck, ‘what I am mourning is not worth saving, but I regret it’s loss nevertheless’.
