Managing adversity by avoiding it.

————

Everyone doesn’t want to

 address a nation.

Everyone doesn’t want to

 wage a conflict.

Everyone doesn’t want to

 meet in secret.

Everyone doesn’t want to

 bomb an enemy.

Everyone doesn’t want to

 witness victory.

Everyone doesn’t want to

 take the credit.

Everyone doesn’t want to

 pen his memoirs.

Everyone doesn’t want to

 lie in state.

Everyone doesn’t want to

 rate a sendoff.

The man who carries the bags says,

 Thank God, I carry the bags.
