Mr. Asbjorn,
Sorry for this late reply, i was not checking my  mails. You may be right on
Reinhold Niebuhr. A friend printed out this quotation with the notion that
it might help keep my feet on the ground. You know when kids get massacred,
people are screaming obscenities at the perpetrators, demanding their heads.
It dawns on you that you have two outstanding alternatives to end the
madness among others: 1) either you turn your body into a warhead, walk up
to state house/cabinet and blow up the murderers, in the process taking your
own life or 2) take the protracted road by trusting the spontaneity and
courage inherent in an enduring people(Venezuela as a recent
example)somewhere between the two lies the essence of this quotation for me!
Kindly forward any information on Mr. Niebuhr if you have any! Thank you for
your input.

"God grant me the serenity to accept
the things i cannot change, the courage
to change the things i can, and the wisdom
to know the difference" -Reinhold Niebuhr
