In the entire history of the world, not one single thing ever got better by accepting something as it is.

In the entire history of the world, not one single thing ever got better by accepting something as it is.
Deep Space Nine:
Julian Bashir: "It's not your fault things are the way they are."
Lee: "Everybody tells themselves that. And nothing ever changes."
I mean, DS9 was literally a TV serial, of course nothing ever changes.
Bashir's statement is a true one, made out of compassion. Lee's statement is almost comically/logically/obviously false in a real Universe, unless you're in a fictional TV series designed to not ever change. Except of course for the plot arc, which again, true to Bashir's statement is not anyone's fault.
"You’ve heard of animals chewing off a leg to escape a trap? There’s an animal kind of trick. A human would remain in the trap, endure the pain, feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind."
