This is one of the core philosophies of life, and a big reason why I am so dedicated to learning so many different topics. There are many things in life that I don’t have any control over and that I’m asked to blindly accept. I’ve always found it easier to accept things if I understand them, and so I go on quests for knowledge. But many times there are things that go unanswered and this is something I find very difficult to accept. Why would a parent say “because I said so”, maybe it’s because they don’t know or don’t care enough to explain why.
Regardless, it is what it is, and I just hope everyone learns: that with understanding, comes acceptance — for me at least.
