We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us
so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid,
or we can let them soften us, and make us kinder.
We always have the choice.

Wise words by a wise man.
Agreed, Ayala. He celebrated his 80th birthday this week so I thought I’d commemorate the occasion with a Thursday musing in his honor.
Beautiful and yet so true, our outlook and demeanor is always ours to control; no one else’s. We can’t always control our circumstances but we can control how we experience them. Have a great weekend Rudri! -Iva
Glad the quote resonated with you, Iva. Thanks for your words.
OH, this is lovely and so timely for me. Sometimes it’s easy to think that the hardening of ourselves will protect us. Hard lesson learned.
