Inevitably, if we are to grow and change as adults, we must gradually learn to confront the challenges, paradoxes, problems and painful reality of an insecure world.

About This Quote

This quote is very true. Sometimes it feels easy to hide away from problems by keeping yourself sheltered. The biggest mistake people make is believing that the world is an easy place for everyone to live in. Unfortunately, there are many people who are not as lucky as us.

They are left out of the society that we are part of, they struggle to eat every day, they are forced to live in poor conditions, they are threatened by bullies and they feel the pain of others too when they fall ill. This quote helps us to realize that we need to accept that we can do nothing about it and that we need to face the reality of this world and be brave enough to take action.
