Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
This is all clever and inspirational and stuff, but when the rubber meets the road, how does one balance the serenity and wisdom with giving up? If you give up and just accept things will be the way they are, are you a sucker or are you serene and wise beyond your years?
Maybe it’s what you got going on outside of that arena that tips the scales one way or the other? Or does it?
In this comic – if the pawn realized what the King was thinking – and continued to be a dedicated hard worker, would the pawn be a sucker or would he be serene and wise?
