The Glass Key

Perseverance is key, but sometimes I wonder if it's made of glass. But it grinds you down after a while so it's hard to stay optimistic in the face of that. It's like the WWI pilots who knew they were going to die but went ahead and kept flying anyway because there was nothing else to do.

Submitting and resubmitting and submitting again often feels like that to me: pointless. But there's nothing else you can really do; that's how the game is played.

I'll have to think about this some more.
