where is the difference between accepting and giving up?
wanting things out of your reach tends to make you unhappy and direct your attention away from the things you have; on the other hand, not pushing yourself towards a goal means you don't fully utilize your potential. but where does the line go?
how hard do you have to try? how much should you want? when to accept that you will not excel without it being giving up just tad too early?
All I wanted was to sing to God. He gave me that longing... and then made me mute. Why? Tell me that. If He didn't want me to praise him with music, why implant the desire? Like a lust in my body! And then deny me the talent?
Antonio Salieri in Amadeus (Milos Forman, 1984)
