On my walk to work this morning (12/18/19) I made the following connection between prayer and antifragility.
Fragility prays for no problems. It cannot accept a world with problems and prays for God to remake the world in their image and preference.
Resilience prays for problems to be easier than they have to be. It accepts the fact of problems, but focuses on their severity rather than their reality, which it readily accepts.
Antifragility prays for more of the right kind of problems. It asks God to make things harder than they have to be as a result of increased blessing.
Resilience resists certain blessings since they attend certain work and fragility prefers less blessing if it means less stress. Antifragility welcomes work in order to host more blessing.
Fragility is hostile to blessing.
Resilience is willing to host blessing.
Antifragility is hospitable to blessing.
Antifragility opens its doors and sends out invites welcoming blessing and its problems over. Fragility prays blessing doesn't find its address. Resilience hopes blessing doesn't stay for dessert. Antifragility prepares a room for blessing to live and prays it will take up residence in its life.
