Duality

JOURNALING READS

Hope Works in these ways:It looks for the good in people, instead of harping on the worst; It discovers what can be done, instead of grumbling about what cannot; It regards problems large or small, as opportunities; it pushes ahead when it would be easy to quit.It "lights the candle" instead of cursing the darkness.UNKNOWN

Resignation works in these ways: having looked for the good in people, it realizes that in some there is no longer any; it acknowledges that there are just some things you cannot change; it knows that if you keep expending your energy, you will not have the energy left over for more worthwhile endeavors; it takes comfort in the certainty that even when you have no candle to light the darkness, You are not alone there.
