Sometimes I think that it is self-destructive, even egotistical, to take responsibility for things you can do absolutely nothing about. There is an old saying which goes something like:
"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". "It's a mystery to me - the game commences, For the usual fee - plus expenses, Confidential information - it's in my diary..."
I don't feel I'm subject to terrible dilemmas. I have great freedom of action, to blog, to speak my mind, and I work in a sector where I can do useful things and actually lead the way. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
