....if only this was like that, and that was like this. If only we were here, instead of there. And whenever something went wrong, something else would make it okay again. What a complicated set of conditional causes. Would it not be simpler for any of us, when we have such thoughts, to just accept that there are a few shortcomings in the connected situation but that, if ways can be found to live with these, it's always possible for easy, happy experiences to be had?
We may be closer than we think to a situation that can bring great satisfaction. So we owe it to ourselves to relax and adapt.
We can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb over them,
or build with them. (William Arthur Ward)
