And what to do about it...
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
– The Serenity Prayer
Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own . . .”
– The Serenity Prayer
– Epictetus, Discourses, 2.5.4–5
Those who believe they will be saved by a certain date/event/thing/person and are oblivious to the current state
Those who believe that they will never be saved and who look at the horrible daily things as their future
Those who maintain faith that you can/will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties. And at the same time confront the (brutal) facts of reality.
A thing defined by uncertain outcome
