Do not give it any power. Understand that in the same way that people only lie to you because they want you to act in some other way than how you would act if you knew the truth, people will try to stoke your moral indignation because they want you to act other than you would if you were proceeding from a place of equanimity and compassion. The next time you get really angry about the evils of the system, notice how good it feels, and understand how that feeling takes power away from the better angels of your nature and turns it over to something that longs for destruction, conflict and brutality as goods unto themselves. Understand that the best practice is the cultivation of your own consciousness.”
