How do you feel about the statement of 'giving in to the inevitable'?

Answer 1

Depends on what the "inevitable" is. If it is not good, it is not real, just existent, and it will pass.

You might enjoy Martha Beck's grappling with and changing various "inevitables" in her warm, witty, and profound "Expecting Adam," an account of her carrying her child to term during her Harvard Ph.D. program.

Also worthwhile: "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, "Men in White Apparel" and "Watch Your Dreams," Ann Ree Colton, and "Man, Master of His Destiny," O. M. Aivanhov. Two accounts of people who discerned truth re "inevitable:"
"The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, and "Gandhi, the Man: The Story of His Transformation," Eknath Easwaran, Ph.D., http://www.easwaran.org
