Accepting reality is half the battle won in one's life! In simple words it teaches us to be happy with what we have! You cannot go on asking for something you want when you know it is not possible and make your life miserable! To accept one's reality and not be taken in by appearances is the golden rule to keep in mind if you want a problem free life!! It is when you have these “desires” that we go off track and be tempted to do something you may regret later! A very well written piece which one must carry around!!
