I don't practice actual meditation. In fact when I visited India not quite 20 years ago the worldview of almost everyone that they were just a twig in a stream and should accept whatever happened really irritated me.
People are not twigs, we can paddle and get somewhere ahead of the flotsam just going with the current, or paddle to shore if there is a beach rather than cliff or a tree branch to grab hold of.
But we cannot turn back a river and I have got to think smart about how to cope when I feel like people are a river of stupidity. Paddling against the current is very wearying and may not even be possible; I do need to judge the current and surroundings and paddle in a way that makes sense.
