“We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live”
— Joseph Campbell

Simplified Meaning:
Life is full of challenges and sadness, and we can't make all the problems in the world go away. However, we have the power to choose how we react to them. For example, think about a person who loses their job. This is a difficult and sad situation, but the individual can choose to stay positive and start looking for new opportunities, rather than dwelling on the loss. Instead of focusing on the things we cannot change, we can take steps to improve our own lives and find moments of happiness. By making the decision to keep living and finding joy, we can make our own world a better place, even if the bigger world is still imperfect. This mindset helps us to be resilient and keep moving forward despite the difficulties we face.
