When all is said and done, Wikipedia is really not very important in the great scheme of things.

Editors shouldn't and needn't get worked up about things. If you're feeling strong negative emotions towards Wikipedia, an article, or a user, you're taking things too seriously, and it's time to back off. Relax a little, and try to gain some perspective. The most important thing about editing Wikipedia is to enjoy yourself while doing it. If you're not enjoying yourself, other people probably aren't enjoying you either, and time is ripe for a wikiholiday.

Wikipedia can be used to escape from the real life. But real life can also be used to escape from Wikipedia. Don't hesitate to do so.
