Some teachings, religious or not, seem to be universal...
God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
-The Serenity Prayer, Reinhold Niebuhr
For every ailment under the sun
There is a remedy, or there is none;
If there be one, try to find it;
If there be none, never mind it.
-The Retreat to Commitment, W.W. Bartley
If there’s a remedy when trouble strikes,
What reason is there for dejection?
And if there is no help for it,
What use is there in being glum?
-Shantideva of Nalanda University (8th-century)
