"In reality all of our problems are nothing more than a failure to accept things as they are."
So why change things? Why don't we just accept the shit hitting the fan?
Because we can turn off the fan?
Guess so.
Bodhisattva vow is to save all sentient beings. Seems a whole lot easier to just accept suffering.
Maybe we end suffering by helping people realize that they create suffering by wanting things to be different than they are?
Maybe?
AA got it right, "God, grant me the serenity: To accept the things I cannot change; ... mind to accept that which cannot be changed; courage to change that which can be changed."
Oh!
