"Whatever IS, is right."
~Alexander Pope~
Acceptance is not always a happy affair. Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow without a lump in the throat. And sometimes, what is, is sad. But that doesn't mean it's not worthy of our loving care and attention, or that we don't have to accept it.
I feel sad sometimes for the losses I've survived and the self-deception and suffering of the human race. But the sadness always passes, and hope returns again, and I remember that happy has its portion in my life, just like sorrow, and both are mine, unequivocally, to accept.
I cease fighting the shifting emotional currents of my life. I feel happy when I'm happy, and sad when I'm sad.
