“In order to act well in this world, you must first accept it. Justice, generosity, and gratitude flow from a mind that embraces all things, in harmony with our nature as rational and social beings. Injustice, selfishness, and fear flow from a mind that complains about and fights against things as they are, straying from reason and society.”
