In times of adversity and sense of reality

[Jimbean]

Any one want to discuss this?

I find that it takes some inner strength to keep a good sense of reality when everyone else is thinking the opposite of what you are attempting to achieve.  This is when you have a great opportunity  to gain character.

So true, so very very true. 

I'm working on some character gains myself.

Your post makes me think of Gary North's calling us the Remnant.
