So True

We have, in fact, no right to ask the world to conform to our desires. Sooner or later, if we hope to grow up, we have to confront the opposite imperative: that our rights and the realisation of our desires are limited by human nature, by human community, and by the nature of the places in which we live.

~ Wendell Berry
