Never get angry with a thing for doing what it does.

"Never get angry with a thing for doing what it does, be angry for not knowing what it was." John H. Miner,Sr. When my dad first uttered those poetic words (I have since made them more poetic) I thought something was was wrong with him. As time passed, I came to see the sheer brilliance in his words. Consider this, accept people and things for what they are, not what you hope or would like them to be. Use deductive reasoning not inductive to determine the scope of your synthesis. Stop projecting superstition and emotional provocations onto others. Discern clearly the intentions of a thing or person before ascribing particular values. Perceive things as they are use them for what they are. In the end you be closer to living the good life.
