Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinion at all. –G.C. Lichtenberg
Once you form an opinion, you show that you care. And caring means you have to feel it when things don’t go your way. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told my friends, “I wish I could just not care.”
But caring is also what makes us human. How dull would life be if we didn’t feel? Ironic that a main sign of depression is “loss of interest in normal daily activities,” or basically, not caring.
There goes our piece of mind.

I prefer the pain of giving a shit than a dull, grey world without any feeling at all.
