This all feels like some sort of endurance course to see who is really dedicated to the goal of a peaceful and prosperous new society — versus those seeking a cheap win and personal advantage. Reminds me of many arduous treks in the mountains in my 20s, thrashing through bogs and snow in the dark to get back to a car at some roadhead.
Just. Keep. Going.
It reminds me of being a parent -- always watching, feeling, and wondering about the final outcome. It encompasses every known emotion, in my case at least. The journey is made infinitely better with the help of everyone here.
