You have to be prepared for all outcomes, and consider every possibility, no matter how difficult that may be. What you said is exactly what I keep in the back of my mind every single day. It's like I'm walking with each foot on a totally different path, ever pressing forward, but not 100% certain where these paths are actually leading. I think you just voiced what hopefully the majority of us here DO keep in the back of our minds. I have more hope than you, it seems, perhaps a whole hell of a lot more hope and optimism, but that one foot remains firmly on the path of thought that you just spelled out. You have to. It's a necessity. Anyone who says it is not a necessity doesn't seem to understand the "animating contest of freedom" too well.
