Even in those situations that we call as utterly woeful, utterly hopeless, if we just do that which we are capable of doing, would there be space and opportunity and time to despair? If you do what you must, where is the time to suffer?
In fact, the more impossibly adverse a situation is, the less is the time it leaves you with to despair. If the enemy is overwhelming you two thousand to one, will you really be honestly able to find time to sneak away in a corner and weep about your fortune or misfortune?
If the situation is so bad, it is good news. It will leave you fully occupied. All your time, your energy will be then consumed in responding to the humongousness of the situation.
Do the utmost that you must do in any situation, and you will find that there is just the joy of right action. Wails and tears are for those who are guilty of abdicating their responsibility.
