Reply #7: The things that are depressing

should be cheering you up. Stonewalling and lack of cooperation will just add to the magnitude of the problem.

Also, think of this as a basketball game. Our team isn't going to always be standing at our goal shooting free throws. Sometimes, the ball goes to the other end of the court and the other team gets a lay-up. But we eventually get the ball back and score a few points.

My point is that you really ought to look at the big picture. Focus on a single comment at any given time and you'll not only drive yourself crazy, but you'll never have a clear view of the big picture.

Do what you can to help the team and don't worry about each individual play.
