Affecting who?

Stop.... How do negative social influences affect people? 
Clearly it becomes a greater issue everyday. Be it a variety of issues ranging from politics and religion, to prejudice and the ever growing
numbers that are offended by seemingly everything. 
Negative influences.... Will always be everywhere. It's doesn't make it right... But that's today's society, today's reality. It would be nice to say that the majority could influence the minority to make a change, but in reality,  things will get worse not better.  Self preservation for your own wellbeing depends on how you let the negatives affect you. It was once said... Grant me the ability to change what I can change,  and insight to avoid the negative influence of things that I can not change... And the wisdom to know the difference. There's a point where knowing about the negative issues,  and having them affect your wellbeing... well, lines need to be drawn and not crossed. It's the difference between them affecting you,  or you allowing yourself to be affected by them. Choices.
