My sense is that to succeed in this kind of psychological war of attrition you have to be motivated by something other than glory at the end. That would drive you insane. For me, it’s the defiance along the way. No matter how low I go, I cannot give them the satisfaction of seeing me give up.
Amen brother never ever give up- if this goes to blood in the streets that's where I will be and take as many as I can with me - still a win as I get to cross over to the other side, this is a fact.
