Granted, someone said "the man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea," and there's no denying that the state of things are dire, but very deep pessimism over it will only make matters worse.
Be an optimistic realist - don't just say a storm is inevitable and that's it, or conclude that it's impossible and that's it; rather, accept that a storm is possible but with a sense of expectation that if we adjust the sail, we will safely get to shore, and by God we will. Amen!
