“Cease to lament for that thou canst not help,
And study help for that which thou lament'st.”
This quote is taken
from Shakespeare's The Two Gentlemen of Verona that
I have just finished lately. I like this quote in spite of the one
who says it and the motive behind that saying.
It's
a nice idea to remember that lamenting over something usually doesn't
help much. It doesn't mean that it's wrong to be sad over something
bad, but to be overly sad over something is never good. The first
line of the quote reminds us that there are things we cannot change
in the world, and grieving over it doesn't change the fact. But the
second line suggests that there are things we can mend still, and for
those things it is better to act than to grieve over it.
That's
my quote for the week. Please share yours with me.
