Indian-born, British-American author Salman Rushdie has seen more than his share of adversity in his lifetime, which inclines me to heed his advice in dealing with the low points in life:

“It was the resilience in human beings that represented their best chance of survival, their ability to look the unimaginable, the unconscionable, the unprecedented in the eye.”

– Salman Rushdie, “Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights”

Our resilience is being tested today as never before in my memory. I only hope we have the strength and the courage to stand up to the evil and not just look it in the eye . . . but also to spit in it, stand up to it, and defeat it.

Just sayin’ . . .
