yes but things as they are won't let us just live, and it won't let people at risk (actually that's us, too) just live. how can i just live with children are incarcerated and a madman, supported by madmen, is running the country (into the ground). show your daughter how many people are in the fight, that it's NOT just you and her and a few friends.

There's always a fight to be had.
Life is a struggle. Always has been, always will be.
Embrace that and engage, or don't.
The choice is yours.

It is always about the fight as much or as little as you want it to be.

There is a time to fight for things, another to relax and let things happen.

This is one of my most used expressions: I just want live. I don't have time for struggles and bitterness, and when I sense I'm dealing with one of those people that always have be right and want pick a fight - I'll often concede or dismiss myself. I'm okay with being the wronged party and keeping my stream of good vibes going. Every now and then I'll rise the occasion set the matter straight, but I don't live argue, and I'm not about waste time fighting or being in a prolonged grudge match with the people I love. Life can have so much offer, learn from, experience and enjoy - that's what I live for!

I reckon you (hopefully) get better at picking your battles as you age.
