Don't Allow Pain to Lower Your Standards

People do it to themselves all the time. Willingly and unwillingly. They cause themselves pain then whine when their standards are lowered. I'm sympathetic to the pain. But I can't roll over and die every time I'm shocked by the world. I'm sick and tired of a lot of things. A lot of things that I take to heart. Still, I find the time to make long term and short term goals, a reality.
