Recently while browsing the sea of uselessness, the brainrot news and discussions as consolation to my irritated mind, I come across the serenity prayer, it says:"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Turns out that I quite like those words since it suits me so well. Not that I am a christian or anything, me? To even be an agnostic might be an exaggeration. This verse really just resonates with the context of my situation.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
For the past year I have really been struggling to accept my surroundings, people, city, streets, work, life, etc. None of those seems to fit, nothing really works, do not talk to me all works out in the end, it does not, just conceding to what life gives you does not make those drowning feelings go way, it will always go back to haunt you. Obiviously, I know something cannot change in a short period, I cannot force it, but it will change in the end. Serenity is the key for me take my breath and settle things in a stratigically advantagious way, it calm my nerves when I feel nerve wracking, makes me feel clarity, and gardually nurtures my strenth. But getting serenity does not mean I could lose my resolve and concede in the end. I think Jeff Bezos once said that the best way to feeling comfortable about a problem is actively addressing it. I shall address my issues with the comfort of serenity. As for the difference between things I can change and cannot, there is not a defined line drawn between them, if such a line exists, it would be dynamic, to that end, I may truly need wisdom from god or any other supreme being that is out there, watching and listening.
Serenity is a thing I have enjoyed in my childhood, it is a feeling created with my imagination and my outside sceneries. Watching wind howling up to the cirrus cloud in the sky on a clear winter, cumulonimbus cloud approaching while the rain pouring at the valley with the sunlight shining through it on a warm summer afternoon, those things make me feel relieved, willing to explore where the eye can see. I can see I am a country man, none of condescending buildings give me any ease or joy. You only live once, with time, I will make sure serenity is a feeling that is abundant in my emotions, no matter what. It is the core of my strength to take on whatever life throws at me. I cannot live without it.
