“Things are as they are and not as we would like them to be. At the same time, regardless of how far away reality falls short of our desires, we can still choose how to respond to circumstances. Freedom doesn’t only reside in the fact that you can choose. It’s also about how you react to situations where you haven’t been able to choose. And that freedom is a source of meaning and of keeping your feet on the ground, of not getting bogged down in things you can do nothing about or getting frustrated.” FreedomMeaning Of Life Book:Learning to Die in Order to Live: Little things that make life wonderful Source: Learning to Die in Order to Live: Little things that make life wonderful
