Default looks like I was right all along

Essentially 'why give a shit about anything you can't control' it's how I keep so young looking

circle of influence, I'll do something about that

circle of concern, why worry man, what happens happens, chill out and have a beer

Hmm, well in my experience its the things that are close to you, the affect you, are the things that give you the most stress. Family, work, neighbours - if you can influence them, they can certainly s**t on you. Maybe THAT explains why you look the way you do... ?

Hmm,
circle of influence = worldview of Sun readers
circle of concern = worldview of Guardian readers

Perhaps a guardian readers self view is so inflated that they think they make a difference by giving everyone their opinion, and they're just too dum to realise that they don't.

Who said anything about making a difference? The world's not set up as a democracy. However, the first step towards getting one is understanding what's going on, and not thinking that pablum = reality.

I take issue with the description of people that look at the Sun as readers, most of them simply can't.

Then what's the point if you don't/won't make a difference? A guardian readers POV is worth no more or less than a Sun readers, wee bit of outrage, intellectual snobbery, and then bugger all action. A complete waste of brain power, unless it's all smoke and mirrors and the only difference between the 2 is that Sun readers are just honest and confident enough not to fall for the whole 'agree with this papers POV if you're intelligent' horse plop.

The first step is understanding that you're nothing to anyone outside your family/friends/work colleagues, and being at ease with it.

Yeah I came out as loathed as well. I was doing OK for a while but it started going downhill rapidly from about the half way mark.
