Life is not all about stress, struggle, suffering and sorrow. It is just that we tend to feel as if that's so when we are going through a tough time. Indeed, if we are not careful, we will maintain that opinion, even when the times are not quite so tough, because it helps us to limit our expectations. And when expectations are too high, the chances of disappointment increase... don't they? But better now to risk a slight chance of a let-down through being too hopeful, than to miss a real opportunity by being too pessimistic recognise that in an important situation, you have already done all that you can. In an attempt to expedite the result of a fishing expedition, someone were to start jumping up and down shouting various exhortations to the creatures below the water. Surely this would be much more likely to drive them away. Patience would be best option in every way in every situation!
