Maybe not reacting much to such events is good for me in a way. I just read that zen kind of book that said among other things:
'When you can do nothing about it, drink a cup of tea'
Meaning situation might change without you acting and it's better that you take no bad actions. Just wait. And know the moment to act when it comes.
Not being completely zen myself, I try to do things in a way that still brings me something. Creating value on the Steem blockchain that is still valuable to me outside the Steem blockchain. Materials, contacts, friends, knowledge - things even a MasterCard can't buy.
Not bad advice, I generally find something active too.
The chain doesn't stop producing blocks and there is a lot one can do in the meantime.
The story behind it and the whole meaning was more like: 'There are overwhelming odds against us. Let's wait and see what happens without rushing to our deaths (do something harmful). Then perhaps some problems will resolve without our interference. Perhaps a moment will appear when we can do something and then we act. '
