Adjusting to a World

If you wish to adjust to a world that you did not create, you must learn how to play by someone else's rules. Like Mr. Thurmer told Holden in The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, life is a game that you have to play by the rules. Everybody is thrust into a world that they did not ask to be put into and they have to cope witht their situation. If you wish to adjust to a world that you did not create, you need to learn to work with the other people around you because you will never survive if you alienate yourself.
