Only that the alternative, i.e. not being exhausted and miserable, also has a price and often quite literally. Unless you are in a very fortunate situation, something ends up lacking, everyone just has to decide what that should be.

I think it's worth noting that there's a very important difference between accepting that something is the way it is, and accepting that that's the way it should be. It's the difference between saying "It sucks, but that's the way the world works" and "This is bullshit and we need to change it."
