What if your life partner says, "I am no longer with you!"

What if your life partner says, "I am no longer with you"? What if you discover that you have a disease that makes it impossible for you to eat something you enjoy? What if someone close to you dies in an unexpected accident?

I know it appears complex, as if it is something we were never meant to be in, but we all know what we will do if that occurs! Maybe we cried, maybe we sobbed, perhaps we attempted to change the situation, but in the end, we #ACCEPT the truth of our existence. Even the loss of a close member does not keep us from going about our daily lives for long!

Here's the point I want to make to my friend: we can accept all of these enormous changes, even the most unwelcome ones, but why can't we merely #ACCEPT someone else's perspective, a different point of view? Sometimes we can't even tolerate a minor mistake of owning ourselves!

Imagine a society where everyone patiently listens to others while enabling others to express their own unique point of view! A world in which we learn from history but do not live in it! Isn't it amazing?

What if we don't expect the world to change but instead alter ourselves to listen, accept differences, and learn to let go of things that aren't significant in our lives? What if we could forego winning an argument or proving others wrong?

Don't you believe life will continue to be an exciting adventure?
