"Take heart, for you have a plan."
And though that plan is the truest cause for optimism I have ever had, I can only bear a reserved optimism.
Fear only begets fear. But while fear spurns some into action, it paralyzes some into inaction. Analysis is inaction.
The plan can succeed, but I am doing now what I have not done before, and with no past experience to base a hypothesis on, the measure of uncertainty is great - but the margin for error is small. I will always have hope, but hope itself is not enough when the world as I know it is at stake.
Yet this plan offers no solution to the love I have sought through the ages, and that bothers me: though this plan will resolve one thing, it leaves a much longer-standing issue - an issue itself the cause of the necessity of this plan in the first place - completely untouched.
Ultimately it must be addressed... or there will never be an end to fear. And because I am hardly moved by threats - to act out of fear - fear must end. And I do not know if that quality is worth anything.
