There are times I could not agree with you more.
Then I remember what I'd be thinking about if I was outdoors working.
My failing memory recalls something about an ability to invoke 'despair' in a _target_.
I would wish no one loses hope in troubling times. I look back into my own wake of the past few years and see everything I've built through sheer perseverance and sweat equity. And I know, if I can do it, most everyone here could too ... and probably better. The bummer is I didn't start these endeavors far earlier in life. No telling where I'd be if I wasn't working my ass off for other people.
