"It's the principle!"

[kellinator]

One of my more annoying flaws is that I tend to get all bent out of shape over stuff that doesn't really matter because I'm hung up on the principle. I don't know when to pick my battles.

There's such a thing as being too idealistic, I guess. Sets you up to become a cynic.

Choosing your battles makes life a heck of a lot easier.

Yes, I'm principled and things tick me off, as you described. But people are going to do what they're going to do no matter how annoyed I get, so the only one I'm hurting is myself.
