: Huggy, so true, so true....Do you know Sister Wendy? This, from her, on human failure....

: "What we can do, we do. Beyond that, we endure, our endurance framed by a sense of what matters and what does not. The worst is not that we may be overwhelmed by disaster, but to fail to live by principle. Yet we are fallible, and so the real worst, the antithesis of peace, is to refuse to recognize failure and humbly begin again."
: - Sister Wendy, 1995

Both are excellent quotes ... applying it to "our situation," I would have to recognize the failure, because there was some, but we will humbly [I would hope] begin [continue] again [on] ...

My question to you, Druncle, is who is Sister Wendy? Enlighten me!
