Hope.
The more I think about it, the less sense it makes.
The scientist in me is taking over.
Hope and despair are both just emotions.
Neither makes sense to me.
Control. That's an action. That makes sense.

- I'm insane enough to believe that most of us will work towards a better world if someone is brave enough to show us how. I'm naive enough to think that I can make a difference.
You are caught up in your own importance. You assume you either have or can take control. This is the source of your suffering. And you don't get to choose which is what. That's what the serenity prayer is about.
ReplyDeleteThat's one opinion, and sounds like a defeatist one at that. You choose to think of yourself as insignificant. That's your choice. I choose to get caught up in my own importance. That's mine.
ReplyDeleteIf I lived my life thinking I had no control, that would be insufferable.
"the wisdom to know the difference" ... We have more control than we care to think. We just have to be prepared to accept the consequences ... we get to choose.
No one said the choices were easy or that one is better than the other, but it is a choice.
