To me this lesson is one of [if not] the most persistent and difficlut ones I have to grapple with; doing what should be done whether there is any outside support or not.
You have articulated the chasm into which I feel long ago and from which I still have not made good my escape. To the last sentence I would add, doing what should be done whether I can muster any passion for it or not. (I was young, and now am old, but apparently I am still not yet grown up.)
