Evaluating My Strategy for 'I Don't Know What-All'

That's just 'what I feel I ought to do' after "learning a big moral lesson" from STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER. (I say "learning"; but I'm not sure what it means to real-life, so it's more like 'hearing & repeating.') The 'lesson' was something that Rebel-leaders would tell each other when the other felt like quitting (because of the hopelessness of their cause ... a hopelessness echoed by "Mistake 21" in the article (that the war wasn't actually won when they just 'beat the main boss')): the still-hopeful leader would say something like, "They make you think you're alone (when you aren't alone); that's how they win " https://www.thewrap.com/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-episode-ix-the-23-dumbest-worst-most-insane-parts-death-stars-disney-plus-emperor-palpatine/ And I don't know whether it's 'the meaning of the lesson' or what, but 'my heart gets a rush of gladness' when a Rebel-fighter feels like they're about to be crushed by the outnumbering Empire, and you hear Billy Dee Williams pipe in on the telecom something like, "But there're more of us!" and help comes sweeping in to save the day! I feel like, 'Ya know what? I want something like that in my life (and probably already have it in some way I'm not looking right now). If I really want that, I need to devote myself to "a cause-that's right but -that may be hopeless." That way, I can either gladly fail in the name of the righteousness or realize that there is help coming to my rescue when the cause drives me into the heart of darkness ... Hmmm ... the 'cause' that sticks out as the most likely to fulfill this---Saving the Ozone Layer (despite the vast Empire that is accelerating their efforts that lead to its destruction and another Ice Age or Fire Age or something).

@mythociate Well, how about some sort of drone monsters who go up there and fix things right up?

It is comforting to know and feel that you are not alone - even when you haven't seen the person or persons who will be there to rescue you.
