The commentary is sad because I am sad...
Having said that, I am a warrior and will fight to defend against what I see is a enemy and I’ll do that until I cash in my chips..
At the same time, I prepare for the worst and hope (albeit a small hope) for the best.
I am sad as well... very sad for our children and grand children... it is up to them now.
I am a warrior as well for the just cause and I am ready to fight, not talk, but without critical mass warriors will be picked off one by one in a meaningless sacrifice.
I have posted here before several times Kipling and a few lines from “if”:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
This is it... hope without good reason to hope.
I am coming to the point in life where I have little to give but my life but I believe I am willing to do that if I believed it would make a difference for my prodigy.
