The funny thing is, I think too much resignation is one of my problems...I tend to expect so little from people and from life, and every bad thing that happens I just accept. And while I may not spend time lamenting what I cannot change, I often end up in bad situations and do not get myself out of them the way I should. I know this is just semantics, but I prefer the word reconciliation to resignation...it implies taking active steps to achieving peace with a situation or person, rather than just accepting things the way they are. But that is mainly because, as I said, I tend to accept too much too willingly.
