Hive account@klye said pretty much what I wanted to say; he found the words much sooner, so to @klye I give credit.

From the way things are going (no matter where we get our news), it looks as if things will get worse for all of us before they get better. It's one thing for us to deal with whatever adversity faces us; that's just life. It's another for us to let things beyond our control dominate how we live and think to the point where we just want to give up and POOF.

We're going to move, fall down, get up, move more, fall again, and get up again. No matter how often we fall, we get up after that. That's how we keep moving forward, and that's how winning is done-- however we define it at any point in time. We take our wins however they come and however we get them.

Along the way, we can't let the "motivators" bring us down and beat us into submission. Life does that on its own without us assisting these people. We take our lumps, but then we tell these people "MOTIVATOR, PLEASE" before dishing out some whoop-ass. It can take a while, but eventually the nonsense and insanity will stop and we can get back to being our awesome selves and help others become their own awesome selves, too. Not everyone can do that, but that's what we do.

I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind, but it may be you needed to hear/read. Heroes are like that, and for some people in their lives we are their heroes.

Love and peace, my brother Hiver.
