Fear and doubt are like little rodents that just keep gnawing away at you from the inside. A trite and tried metaphor mayhaps, but true nevertheless. Staying steadfast in your faith against the onslaught is what gets you through I guess.

"If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim."
