The kind and worthy wisdom we need involves learning to embrace the truth that we will never master ourselves, our lives, or our worlds, though we can learn to view the concept of mastery as what it is: a toxic fantasy that clashes with the reality of our minds and our nature.
We don't need perfection, and we don't need to land upon one final, objective truth.
We need to respect our own unique struggles and our own subjective truths, acknowledging that they will grow and change like the living natural things they are.
-Jarod K. Anderson, Something In The Woods Loves You
