We’ll be able to accept what others are in one moment, knowing that they will be different in the next moment. ~Thubten Chodron Fatalism is acceptance of destiny And to accept destiny is to face life with open eyes Whereas not to accept destiny is to face death blindfolded. ~Lao Tzu The clouds above us come together and disperse; The breeze in the courtyard departs and returns.
