So do all who live in such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we must do is decide what to do with the time we are given.... there are other forces at work in the world besides the will of evil.
I don't know why, but that is an encouraging thought.
You are right, we must 'fight the good fight', like the Fellowship and the men of Gondor and Rohan at the Gate of Mordor, without any hope of victory by our own skill, because it is the right thing.
