How do you cope with the things that you can't change?

tsuneharu
Is there something about you or your life that you have no control over; something that you have a hard time accepting? How do you deal with it?

Given that there are plenty of things in this world that cannot be changed this can be a difficult question to answer. Life itself is something people cannot change, sure there are many different variables that can occur or happen to a person but it does not change the course of life. You are born, you struggle and eventually you die. That being said, I have a tendency to accept the challenges that life decides to throw at me because in the end i know i will come out stronger and more refined than i once was. Life is an endless struggle for all overcoming adversity will only build you into a better you, at least that the way i see it. "Get busy Living or Get busy Dying," as they say.

I deal with it by dealing with it. No sense in getting bent out of shape over things you can't do anything about.

Something cannot be done and as you said you got no control over. People called that life but I wonder what is worth living after we all die one day.

That depends on how you perceive doing something about it. There are many things we control today that we thought were out of our hands in the past. Often times your hard work lays the ground work for someone else to come along and accomplish something. And it's all thanks to one person out of millions deciding that they weren't just gonna accept something. Another way I look at things is also the fact that I can control my response to these external stimuli. There's always an element of control for those stubborn enough to defy the gods and take it.

Big dept: Sit back relax, Pull up a website, Lash out. Then Yankee Doodle. Father dies: Sit back relax, Pull up a website, Lash out. Then Yankee Doodle. Going to hell: Sit back relax, 2nd level of hell, Lash out. Then Yankee Doodle.

On of the most famous quotes concerning change : "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." - Reinhold Niebuhr You just have to deal with it. You can't control everything and when you realise and accept that you can move on.

Pay no attention to it and continue forward. That's pretty much what I've been doing.
