against mourning

the world is hard then you will be soft within it; you will add as much goodness to the landscape and the moment as possible, no matter how futile that might seem to certain people.

At the end of your life, your purpose will be defined not by how you struggled, what circumstances you were in, or what you were supposed to do, but how you responded in the face of adversity, who you were to the people in your life, and what you did each day that slowly, in its own unique way, changed the course of humanity.
