“We live in a fix-it society with the technology to repair many broken things at our fingertips. We forget that we’ve all been deliberately designed to “end” one day. When that ending happens, there’s nothing to fix. . . This is not giving up, or giving in. It’s acceptance.”

“Suffering creates a vivid contrast illuminating joy, happiness, and satisfaction. It is a harsh lesson on the other side of sublime. We all must suffer, whether we choose to or not. There must be value in that which is given in our lives, even though we hope and try to live joyfully and enjoy our brief time on earth.”
