Ask HN: How to be less argumentative online?
<p><pre><code>   The Master does his job
   and then stops.
   He understands that the universe
   is forever out of control,
   and that trying to dominate events
   goes against the current of the Tao.
   Because he believes in himself,
   he doesn&#x27;t try to convince others.
   Because he is content with himself,
   he doesn&#x27;t need others&#x27; approval.
   Because he accepts himself,
   the whole world accepts him.
