When you fight something it means you try to eliminate it. Coping means accepting its existence and being peaceful about it. However, you CAN fight and cope, and you can fight and not cope.
The aim should not be the elimination, the aim should be inner peace.
That is why I despise the setting of “overcoming cancer” as a fight and presenting survivors as “fighters”. What do I care? I prefer peace to health. Because I only want to be healthy as a means for “easier” peace.
