Many people have read or heard the "Serenity Prayer" but not as many know
about the
author.  It is often referred to with no mention of nor concern for who the
author is...
Original "Serenity Prayer" full version at bottom.

This "revised" version is supremely wise, given living in a nation with the
highest per capita
incarceration rate of any nation on Earth!

Why do I NOT feel "serene" when considering this fact?

This is the full prayer attributed to Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr reportedly
written in 1926.
Niebuhr was a Lutheran pastor and theologian. Usually his "Serenity Prayer"
is quoted using
the first 2 verses only.

The Serenity Prayer

The full text of the original "Serenity Prayer" written by Reinhold Niebuhr
(1892-1971)

GOD, grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,

Courage to change the
things I can, and the
wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the
pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this
sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make
all things right if I
surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy
in this life, and supremely
happy with Him forever in
the next.

Amen
