I can tell you’re an optimist; I admire that. Good for you.

Not without evidence. I have had the privilege of knowing people who made the impossible, possible. If you have not done so, I suggest you read about the life of Sir Ernest Shakleton. Especially his Antarctic expedition. As long as there is breath in my body and rightness of mind, I will always fight for what is right.

Remember the words of John Paul Jones as his ship the Bonhomme Richard was falling to pieces around him. He was hailed by the British Frigate Serapin to strike his colors, to give up the fight. He uttered those famous words to his enemies, "Sir, I have not yet begun to fight". And he hadn't. He eventually forced the Serapin to strike her colors and they boarded her.
