"A life of hardship and personal suffering is unavoidable. A person must endure many humiliations of the mind and body, and expect persons whom they trusted to someday betray them. People inevitably witness the death of their loved ones. We also witness acts of depravity committed by criminals that lurk in every society and rouge acts of scandal committed by government officials in charge of the public welfare. A person must nonetheless resist personal discouragement, sadness, dejection, and despondency. I must reach an accord with pain, suffering, and anguish, or forevermore be tortured by reality while constantly seeking to escape from the inescapable agony of being."

Without the rich soil surrounded by a canopy of an illimitable sky how could we feed ourselves, how could we breathe?"

"Life is neither a glorious highlight reel nor a monstrous tragedy. Every day is a good day to live and a good day to die.

Each day is perfect to accept with indifference all aspects of being."
