The more you love things as they are, the more you’re rewarded. The more you love things as they could be, the more you’re punished.

@MellyMel22 It’s true! But so is the other part. If you genuinely love things as they are, then even when suffering inevitably comes, you’ll be okay with that, because sometimes that’s just the way life is. I think we can both agree that everyone suffers eventually in one way or another. So to love things as they are would have to include the times when life is bad. The reason this is rewarding is because if you love the problems of life, then you naturally learn how to make the most of them and even benefit from hardship.

@vic7ory War doesn’t settle a dispute. It only silences an argument. To silence the argument of your heart would be very tragic, because that would mean it never got to love in all the ways it was made to.

@GoFish I cannot think of a context this wouldn’t apply.
