2+2=5 Strategy

Or just say, "Whatever!" 

A friend shared a meme with me. It went something like this:

2+2 =5.  When you get to that point in your life someone says this and you think: "Whatever! If you want to think that, have a good life. I'm not correcting you." 

I think this meme is so fitting.

Someone says: "The world is going to end in ten years if we don't do something about global warming."

You say, "Ok."

Someone says, "Smoking is not going to harm me in any way."

You say, "Ok."

Someone says, "Inhalers work better when you don't use a spacer."

You say, "Ok."

Someone says, "Socialism is good. I want America to be a socialist country."

You say, "Ok."

Sometimes it's just not worth the effort. When you're working, maybe you will want to convince the smoker to quit. But, if you've already made 20 efforts, maybe it's time to put the 2+2 = 5 strategy into effect.
