Do a little stoic exercise. You hear or read the statement of a worthy person, professional, master of his craft (scientist, artist, musician, public figure).

This opinion is completely at odds with yours..

Should act like a stoic, like a mature person, like a lady or a gentleman. You do not include righteous anger, do not call a person an agent, bot, corrupt villain, freak. On the contrary, you say to yourself: stop! Such a deep and principled man thinks differently from me.. Why? So he has a reason. But what are these reasons? I'll try to think, research this question, I will try to understand.

For me, this is a good reason to learn, check the validity of my position and become more restrained and wiser.. If you behave in exactly the opposite way (described above), then know that you are not a stoic, you are an immature personality, infantile, dependent on the opinion of the crowd. You are not a gentleman (lady), but the most ordinary and primitive barbarian.. Albeit with IPhone-ohm, albeit with a higher education. There are even stronger expressions for describing such an individual, but you understood me.
