Don’t Reject Yourself! Don’t Reject This World!

You may see many problems in yourself and in society, but please don’t reject yourself or your world. There is virtue in renunciation, but that doesn’t mean that you should give up on this world. Renunciation in this context is renouncing a small-minded attachment to privacy. You can jump in and involve yourself in life. As you continue your journey through fear and fearlessness, please remember to appreciate your world.
