Your lives will be happier if you learn to let things go.

It's to the point that many of you are taking months-old news stories and being outraged by the fact that they are not being sufficiently seen/covered/apologized for long after the news cycle has passed them by. You were outraged about the original event, but that isn't enough-- now you want to also be outraged at the lack of apology, the media's alleged failure to properly cover the story, and even what you consider to be the lack of an appropriate punishment. This serves the twin purpose of giving you yet another event about which to be outraged and helping you feel justified/seen/affirmed in your prior outrage over whatever was the last thing you were pissed about.

Chill. Let it go. You will be happier, and not incidentally, more a child of Christ if/when you do.

Since many of you are thinking it, let me also address your perception that this is all justified because the Utes/media don't let things go w/r/t BYU, that Utah gets away with everything, that Utah is legitimately terrible and nobody calls them out, but BYU always gets called out.

With all due respect, you are missing the point. You aren't forgoing your right to overreaction and outrage because the U or the media deserve it. You are forgoing it because it makes you happier and God commands it-- or maybe we should reverse those-- God commands it BECAUSE he knows it will make YOU happier. It is not about them. It's about you.

This is basic, kindergarten level ethics, but some of us (I'm one of these people from time to time too) need to be reminded.

Now while you're at it, let go of your political outrage porn addiction too (I'm guilty myself).
