Right now,it's winter here and I'm freezing my tits off, I'd like it be about 10C warmer.
You mean overall? Well,if things are going to become personally inconvenient before I die, I'd like to see THAT change delayed.
Cant's say I waste much time in wishful thinking over things I can't change, such as the human love of war,or disease and starvation on a global scale.
The Serenity Prayer is probably the most profound prayer I've ever heard. I first heard it at AA, where it is said at every meeting. I have always said it to my 'inner self'.
"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"
I have never been any good at changing myself on demand. Instead, I have spend more than a few years learning to accept and like myself as I am,with modest success.
Simple but not easy.
