It is all useless, pointless, hopeless, futile and absurd, and that's where we come in, as Doctor Who (Steven Moffat) would say. It is our place to remain in place on the Anchor Stone of our original nature and the innate virtues that are ours from birth, and say, "So what?" adding: "What's the use of thinking its useless? What's the point of declaring it to be pointless? What is hopeful about proclaiming it to be hopeless? What is the purpose of announcing it is futile? What could be more absurd than asserting it to be absurd? And stopping there, leaving out the most important part-- namely, the conclusion, "and we are going to meet it unflinching, look straight into it's ugly red eye, and do what needs to be done about it, anyway, nevertheless, even so, in each situation as it arises, all our life long! Not caring what our chances are, or what anyone thinks! We came here to be who we are, and to do what is ours to do, and that is exactly what we are going to do, and you are in our way!" Our original nature and innate virtues are here to express themselves, exhibit themselves, bring themselves forth and make themselves known, and it doesn't matter to them what our circumstances are. We are the Dandelion, come to sprout, grow, bloom and show ourselves to the world, no matter what, where, when or how. And nothing is going to stop us, or even slow us down.
