Acceptance Quote by David Richo
““The best response comes from action, not from intellect. For example, we may hear this question: “If love rules the world, why do children starve?” Our answer is simply “We feed hungry children.” “Why do so many good people die painful deaths?” Becomes “We work with the dying.””
