“We’re not gods, and we’re not bare material. We have power, but we have limits. Happiness is in accepting those limits, but accepting limits also means pushing yourself up to them. We all die, but we can try to extend the enjoyable part of our lives by being healthy; none of us can live forever, but we can experience something of infinitude by taking in the whole world around us, by loving and by experiencing friendship; we cannot be reborn, but we can have children. Happiness might be in realizing that the limits aren’t quite as limiting as we usually assume.”
