I got that feeling when I donated to them when they stayed overnight here that it was going to be an exercise in futility.
It is, and the trucks are still hauling like everything in spite of it all.
‘It is just an exercise in futility’
Any exertion of energy to express oneself is never futile. Is is pointless when a bird flies? Is all that flapping just a waste of time, flying solely for the need to fly? No, it is NOT futile. That bird is seen by everybody. That expression is an INSPIRATION to everybody, even to The Creator if nobody else is watching.
I have a song for you:
