A saying closing in

A saying I've started to like and understand recently is the saying, "Du måste lära dig att acceptera saker och ting som der är". In english, "You have to learn to accept things the way they are".

Most of the times I've heard it from the seniors, people with a lot more experience of life than I have. I've always felt that saying is a retreat, like raising the white flag. I think that I'm not the only one - in fact I'm sure most people do.

I always try to understand, maybe even excessively. It's a little pain to explain.

I don't want to use the word analyze, because for some reason I find that word very objective. I guess you could put it as I analyze things in a very subtle and emotional way. There is so many things I try to understand, draw so many different conclusions, almost covered every possible outcome.

Each soloution gives satisfaction
Until something comes up causing a change of scene
Growing doubts.

Every analyze can come down to a final outcome, the round ball is not a rectangle. The blonde girl with a ton of makeup and a fake smile is not faked. This is when you learn to accept things the way they are. Not satisfied, not too thoughtful.

That's the reason I fancy this saying, it's so complete and accurately built, like the blueprint of wisdoms architecture.
