One thing is clear to me: We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.
You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
Acceptance is different than apathy. It is important to strive to be your best self, your healthiest, most productive, joyful self. But that is going to be a different answer to everyone.

I love everybody. You have to embrace all facets of humanity; love and accept everyone as being part of yourself.
