Makes Me Think - Today, while I was upset, my grandfather put his hand on my shoulder and said, “Right now everything seems like a big secret that you just can’t figure out. But trust me, as the years roll on you’ll slowly understand more and more. And someday, you’ll understand almost everything that makes no sense at all right now.” MMT

Very wise. The things that seem so momentous now often end up being troubles of the moment. Also, I feel like as you grow older, your priorities shift, and you realize that not knowing the answers to everything often doesn't matter. And you realize that sometimes there really is no answer, and you learn to accept that and move on.
