I was reading in Proverbs 26:17 where it says, "Like one who takes a dog by the ears is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him." 

There was a marginal note by the word "meddle" and the literal word is, "infuriates himself". I thought, 'that is exactly why I don't busy myself with things I can do nothing about.'

 It seems to me much of Christendom today is fixated with politics, spiritual speculations that can never be resolved and the flaws in differing faiths. I get a flood of posts that I dismiss because they just "infuriate" me! I know my gifts and talents, and that's where I focus knowing I can, at the very least, make some small change.
