People don't get upset about things that happen, but about their opinions of things that happen. If we hear that a drunk driver smashed into the car of a stranger, we feel nothing. But when we find out our own car has been damaged by a drunk driver, we're upset about it. It's easy to see how a car accident is upsetting or not upsetting depending on our opinion about the car.
So whenever you're bothered by something, or upset about something, or feel that someone has done something to offend you, don't blame others. Blame yourself. You are upset only by your own opinions.
The most ignorant people always blame others. Those with a little wisdom blame themselves. But the truly wise blame nobody. Shit happens.
