Going with it is not fighting it. Sheeple go with the wind. Fighting it head on, though, can be tough. Tacking into the wind is usually more effective.

"As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good' and 'bad' of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you."
"If your heart is large enough to envelop your adversaries, you can see right through them and avoid their attacks. And once you envelop them, you will be able to guide them along the path indicated to you by heaven and earth."
- Morihei Ueshiba
