A bit crass maybe but it’s always stuck with me. Basically a way of thinking in bad situations that need action eg if you’ve shat yourself, no amount of wishing you hadn’t is going to change the fact that you’ve shat yourself, so what are you going to actually do about it?
Hopefully it’s metaphorical but works on both counts.
What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too...
