Wisdom, sapience, or sagacity is the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense and insight.[1] Wisdom is associated with attributes such as unbiased judgment, compassion, experiential self-knowledge, self-transcendence and non-attachment,[2] and virtues such as ethics and benevolence.[3][4]
The Serenity Prayer is a prayer written by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr[1][2] (1892–1971). It is commonly quoted as:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.[1]
Niebuhr's prayer originally asked for courage first, and specifically for changing things that must be changed, not things that simply can be changed.
I know I have quoted the Serenity Prayer before, but it still comes to mind often these days.
I have a fascination with paths and find I photograph them whenever I am walking one.
