For as long as I can remember, I've been greatly impacted by the hatred, arrogance and greed around me. It wasn't possible to turn away from it without turning away from the entire world.
You will never be able to control this in others, but you can control it in yourself. Don't participate in the things you hate. Try your best to have pity for those who do because you already know it's a destructive path. Pray for them, then let it go if you can.
When it gets overwhelming, try to balance it out with an activity that you enjoy - a simple pleasure of some kind. Or find something constructive to work on to insure you don't ever fall into that trap in the future. You may share the same space, but their world doesn't have to be your world - their life doesn't have to be yours.
