Pray to God for gladness. Be glad as children, as the birds of heaven. And let not the sin of men confound you in your doings.

Two and two make four. Nature doesn't ask your advice. She isn't interested in your preferences or whether or not you approve of her laws. You must accept nature as she is with all the consequences that that implies.
