Are you familiar with "The Stockdale Paradox"? If not, I'd suggest you do a google search on it.
The Stockdale Paradox is named after an admiral by the name of Jim Stockdale. He was a U.S. military officer held captive during the Vietnam War. His story is profound. It might help put things into perspective for you.
Have a great weekend pal.
