How to Accept What You Can't Change
In life, it's common to obsess over things that are beyond our control, whether it's past mistakes or the actions of others. King Solomon, in Ecclesiastes, highlights the futility of trying to change what cannot be changed, emphasizing that some things are simply unalterable. The past, for example, cannot be undone, and while making amends is important, dwelling on past decisions only leads to unnecessary guilt. Similarly, trying to change others is often a fruitless endeavor, as people will only change when they are ready. The key to peace and contentment lies in focusing on what can be changed and accepting what cannot.
