标题：Life Is Too Short to Waste on Cut-and-Dry Issues

Life is too short to spend time on trivial matters that are not worth our energy and time. We should focus on the important things that matter to us and let go of the things that are not worth our attention. When we encounter a difficult situation, we should not be afraid to cut through the confusion and take decisive action. We should not be afraid to make mistakes or take risks because we will learn from them and become stronger. Instead of being stuck in a loop of negative thoughts, we should try to cut off the flow of negative energy and focus on positive actions that will help us move forward in life. By doing so, we can live a more fulfilling life and avoid wasting our time on things that do not matter.
