I think people in general give too much importance to their role in the lives of others. The reality is, if you take a random given person, then 99.99999% of Earth's population will have 0 interest in what they believe in and what they do in life. People go out of their way to be noticed, but even when they are, it is mostly a passing interest, and almost everyone forgets them the next day.

This is why I do not believe in all this activism, on the Internet and in life alike. Nothing gets done or changed by screaming, "My opinion is the most important one, and everyone who disagrees does not understand me!" If people just acknowledged that their opinion is just their opinion, having very little effect on the grand scale, then they would reframe their plans in a constructive way, focused not on getting attention, but on making some actual change. And for that they would need to get on people's good side, hence all the hateful and divisive rhetoric would have to end.

People focus too much on attracting attention to something that bothers them, and too little on having it fixed. People employ emotion-based over action-based approach, and hence they can never persuade anyone to side with them, other than those that were going to side with them anyway.

I never get into fights with people in life. When I disagree with someone, I can discuss it in a peaceful manner, or move on. And when I agree with someone, I do not start kneeling before them. An opinion is just an opinion. If we have something in common, then we can interact in a mutually beneficial way. If we do not, then I am still curious about the other person. I will not form an organisation with the purpose of opposing something; it is not constructive. I could form an organisation with the purpose of building a better world, however, and I would not go about it by vilifying those who prevent my dreams from coming true.

I do not even get upset when people actually infringe on my freedoms. When my neighbors listen to a loud music at 1 am, instead of getting confrontational, I just put my earplugs in and sleep like a dead man. I am not interested in asserting my dominance in any way and making the other side bow to my will, even if the will is reasonable. I just go about life and try to make the best out of it, instead of picking pointless fights everywhere and fight for causes that require antagonizing everyone.

But there are those that absolutely need someone to hear them. Hence they form aggressive groups and pick fights with everyone who opposes their ideology. Nobody would give them any mind, but they start getting on people's nerves, and then everyone opposes them - and, regardless of whether their cause resonates with people or not, nobody wants to have anything to do with them.

There are a few very simple rules to life such people should employ. It immediately makes one's life much happier, and people start focusing on what actually matters, instead of looking for strange distractions:
1. If someone disagrees with you, it is fine.
2. If something does not go your way, it is fine.
3. The world does not revolve around you.
4. Your feelings are of little interest to strangers.
Understanding these simple concepts and practicing them both dramatically increases one's quality of life, and makes the world a friendlier place.
