I let my pride and idealism determine our destiny and stayed with the endeavor until the swirling suction of of the sinking ship pulled me down with it. We quickly learned that our determination to honor our word made very little impact on most others, and in fact many castigated us for having stayed with a seemingly lost cause for as long as we did. It is honorable to be an idealist, but there are times when survival depends on our being realistic, and in many instances we may have no control over the conditions of our surroundings.
Icebergs perhaps, but it is hard to out run a torpedo.
