It is much safer to reconcile an enemy than to conquer him;
victory may deprive him of his poison, but reconciliation of his will.

There are two ways of dealing with this disease, we can let it make us miserable and thus blight our own lives and those of our loved ones or we can approach it positively and enjoy our lives as best we are able. Whichever course we take, the outcome is likely to be the same, the only thing that will be different is what life's going to be like between now and then.
