Living next to what you can't change, without pretending it's fine.
means The state of two or more things existing side by side at the same time, often despite tension or disagreement between them.
from Built from the Latin prefix 'co-' (together) plus 'existence,' from 'exsistere' — 'to stand forth, come into being,' itself from 'ex-' (out) and 'sistere' (to stand or cause to stand). So at its root, coexistence is simply multiple things 'standing forth' in the same space at once — the word doesn't promise harmony, only simultaneous standing.
