11 " The void, the rage, the sadness, the helplessness, the hopelessness can never be described. Only the person experiencing it knows it. "
12 " Even if it is a form of defeatism, it at the very least helps one move on to what has to be done instead of languishing in self-pity accentuated by anger caused by impotence to make any real effective change. "
