“You make your bed and then you lie in it – and everyone knows it – and that’s not to say that you’re not subject to random and chaotic circumstances and the tragedy of life. Just because you can do some things doesn’t mean you can do everything. But you can do some things and if you don’t do them, then things fall apart. And the problem with things falling apart is that you will be happy about it, to the degree that you’re not trying to repair them. Because to the degree that you do not manifest what’s within you, then your life falls apart around you and everything that could make you bitter multiplies, until you’re in a situation where you want the destruction, you want to bring it on. And it’s not surprising. Because life can be so terrible that the question of whether or not it should exist at all can be a real question. But the answer to that is; is life so terrible that it shouldn’t exist? Well the answer is – it depends on how you live it. And if your life is so terrible that you can’t bear it, then it raises the question of whether or not you’re living it properly. And that’s not to say that people don’t suffer under burdens that are too great for them to bear – they certainly do, it doesn’t matter – because if you let that embitter you, if you let that destroy your allegiance to the proper path, all it does is make that worse and everything else – it’s no out.”[Citation Needed]
