“Reality is what it is, not what you want it to be”
— Frank Zappa
Simplified Meaning:
Life doesn’t always go the way you want it to, and you have to accept things for what they are instead of how you wish they would be. Imagine you plan a picnic but it starts raining. You might feel upset because you wanted sunshine, but the truth is, it's raining and the picnic can't happen as planned. Complaining about it won’t change the weather. Instead, you could look for something else to do indoors, like watching a movie or playing games. Accepting reality lets you adapt to situations and find new solutions instead of wasting time on things you can't control. This mindset helps you stay practical and focused on what you can do now.
