Other patriots have faced this problem in ages past. It is well to reflect on their example, and learn what we can of it. It is a mistake to condition one's own actions on the response or support of others. In this life we each have a duty to do what is right, even if we have to stand alone against all the forces of the Universe. We are not responsible for the actions of others, or for outcomes, only for our own best efforts.
Life is a learning experience.
Some will learn, and for each that does, one more spark will lighten the darkness. The night sky is not less beautiful for having no more than the stars is has, and there could be no life on this earth if the sky were an unbroken ceil of stellar fire. At present it is mainly something dimly perceived and easy to deny or dismiss. It has always been so. Good people are slow to act against tyranny.
