1) Stop spreading powerlessness
2) Stop worrying about your own feeling of powerlessness
3) Get to work
Everyone facing a real challenge feels powerless and despair at times. 90% of the difference between success and failure is what you do next.
A lot of ‘if I can’t/won’t solve this problem, fuck you if you try to solve this problem’ going on, especially on the left.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too; ...
Only then is a discussion of ideas, etc. useful. At work, facing a challenge, someone is no good on a team if they take a position of powerlessness and 'come up with ideas for me'.
