not take things so seriously

Most arguments are pointless, I don’t know one person who doesn’t think they’re right. Even in a situation where one person is right and the other is wrong, it’s still pointless -one of you will eventually be proven right and it won’t be through arguing.

“Fuck ‘em/’er/’im” or “Fuck it” depending on the situation.

Not taking things so seriously makes it a lot easier to be more tolerant. Some things just can’t be changed/aren’t worth changing, irritating though they are, and not seeing it as something so serious helps to swallow the irritation and to concentrate on the other, more positive aspects of people/situations.

I really shouldn’t take other people so seriously, especially when they’re taking themselves so seriously.

You could say that my basic personality is serious, but I want to stop taking things so seriously, but in the sense that I still continue to take serious things seriously but not so serious things not so seriously. Especially other people who are behaving like jerks to me. And I want to take more pleasure and enjoyment from life.
