Understanding this quote
The quote presents two possible responses to a world that feels unacceptable: accept it as it is, or work to change it. It frames refusal to accept the world as a responsibility to act, rather than as a reason to withdraw. The wording leaves “the world” broad, so it can refer to circumstances, society, or one’s immediate surroundings.
