I am an activist and suggest that the vigorous, engaged lifestyle out there in the world is the maverized life. Having said that, as one gets a little older, one learns that there are reverses, disappointments and setbacks that one cannot whitewash, go around or do much to ameliorate.
Ones has to quietly calmly embrace the new reality with full acceptance (not acceptance of giving up or giving in, but accepting that the change is here, really hurts and is a permanent condition). Overcoming or dealing with the setback is a psychic way of making lemonade out of a lemon.
One can and should remain and activist, move, improve, love, create, intellectualize and progress, but the unwelcome changes are now part of one's set of tools for repairing the creature called chaos that life has dumped on one.
