“The resolute acceptance of the unavoidable is the beginning of wisdom”
— Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:
When we accept things that we can't change, we start to become wiser. For example, getting upset about bad weather won’t make it stop raining. Instead, we can choose to carry an umbrella or stay indoors. This shows we understand and adapt to what we can't control. In everyday life, this means recognizing situations that are out of our hands, like other people's actions or past events. By focusing on what we can change, we make better choices and feel less stressed. This approach helps us live more peacefully and thoughtfully.
