In our modern world, we have learned how to do many significant things. We have learned how to transplant a heart from one person to another, explore and exist in outer space, clone animals, make computers the size of a watch, manage numerous diseases and handicaps, momentarily be in contact with people around the world via the Internet. The list of accomplishments is endless. As I said, we have learned how to do many incredible things, with new developments taking place every day.
But with all our ingenuity, we have never learned how to live life with mastery — to face up to the demands of life, to cope with life regardless, to be content whatever the circumstances.
