IT’S NOT IGNORING REALITY IT’S TRANSCENDING REALITY
• Dialogue, and give and take, get better
results than ramming one’s head against a
wall;
• Every action will have consequences, for
better or worse;
• There is satisfaction in doing something
because it is right and not just because it
is convenient or expedient.
• Hurts, pains and problems are easier to
bear if you look outward and engage
the world, rather than huddle by your
lonesome.
