I've seen that become a slippery slope too often. "I'll just endure until I can change things. I'll just hold on until I can make it happen." I've seen so many people completely drown in that. And doing something like that is no guarantee they'll be safe, either.

That's the thing, for me. There's never any guarantee of anything... so if it's going to be like that, I'd rather choose to do something that might work, rather than bet on the future.
