This is the Serenity Prayer and attribution of it is in dispute. It has existed since at least the mid-1930's and perhaps as long ago as the 19th century.

How do you deal with a person who is very dramatic and takes everything as an insult?
I am not a religious person. However, I have found peace in many places in my life, even where people like this are concerned, by saying in my own head, and sometimes out loud... "_____ grant me the serenity to accept the things I CANNOT CHANGE, the courage to change the things I CAN, the wisdom to KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, and enough SENSE to walk away..." There is nothing we can do to effect, mold, or change how a person does or does not accept our words. If their lack of understanding harms you, maybe it is time to reevaluate the relationship. If you are kind to them -without going WAY out of your way, and they are continously offended- what more can you do? Leave them be. Only THEY can change THEMSELVES, we cannot do it for them. Save yourself the stress and leave it be. Or keep it up and carrry the stress.
