Sometimes life doesn't go according to plan. You don't get that job, you have an accident, you fall for someone. Facing challenges and adapting to your changed circumstances is what makes humans so successful.
Our ability to moderate our behaviour means we can squash down anger, suppress rage and reject love. It does not mean that we should. In order to protect ourselves from uncomfortable emotions we walk away rather than try to work through them.
To me that's existing. That's no living. Living is falling in love, getting angry, laughing wholeheartedly and having real, honest relationships. There will be smiles. There will be tears. But I think that's better than plodding through the drudgery of life.
