The ancient Spartans left us a vision that is a more precise analogy than Massada. Outnumbered by the Persians, according to legend, the Spartans had to hold the pass at Thermopylae. After failing to take the pass, the Persians sent an emissary to the Spartans, who asked them to surrender and threatened them by saying that the Persians had so many archers they could “darken the sky with their arrows.” The Spartans replied: “So much the better, we shall fight in the shade.” We, too, may need to hold the pass in the shade of vexing circumstances; and we, too, need to be undaunted, but that is easier to do, if we carefully cultivate a realistic sense of destiny.
