I’ve always been annoyed by how much “the wisdom to know the difference” is load bearing in this ‘prayer’. I feel like it is yet another underpants-gnomes/draw-the-rest-of-the-owl thing. Is that the point? Humility?
Edit: Why is this being disagreed with—What I mean is—what point(s) do people disagree with? The Humility? That the statement is doing the heavy lifting? The idea it’s a “prayer”? The underpants gnomes bit? The Owl bit? (I see them as two examples of the same phenomenon—why and how can one disagree with one comparison and not the other?). Please take pity on me and explain what exactly you disagree with and why.
That’s why it’s presented as a prayer, I think. It’s not a One Weird Trick or even a piece of advice; it’s more like an acknowledgement that this thing is both important and difficult.
