Be strong, Anon. Have faith. Have the inner strength to see a thing through til its' end, regardless of the way anything looks at present. Find the ideological position that you believe is "right" and entrench- from that point on, hold it, no matter what. Let no one deprive you of it.

Regardless of the outcome, be as strong as you can. As strong as you know how to be.

You don't have to believe in God to believe in a higher power.
