Do you think there is heaven or hell? he signed.‘ I don’t know. Not in the Christian way, if that’s what you mean. I think people have a right to believe in whatever they want. I just don’t.’… If someone came in here and gave you positive proof, would you do anything different? She shook her head. ‘I think it’s just as likely that someone could say that this place, right here, is heaven, hell and earth all at the same time. And we still wouldn’t know what to do differently. Everyone just muddles through, trying not to make too many mistakes. . David Wroblewski
About This Quote

She was right. Even if we could know what to do differently, we wouldn’t. That’s the whole point! We don’t know what to do differently. We can try to improve our situation, but we’ll probably fail.

No matter how much we sacrifice or how hard we try, we probably won’t be able to change anything. That’s why we need to accept things as they are and appreciate them all the more because of that.
