Like the gentle giants of the Thomas Covenant series of Stephen R. Donaldson (are his books still read?), we may be driven into inaction by sheer dismay at the power of the forces of ignorance.

Yes, they are still quite popular, and we are awaiting the second volume in the third and final trilogy of the Unbeliever's Chronicles.
​
Perhaps it is also relevant to recall that we learn from Thomas Covenant that evil can never be destroyed, only perpetually resisted, and that it was the cleansing laughter of the last giant in The Land--and Covenant's refusal to destory Lord Foul--that carried the day in the climactic scene of the first trilogy.
​
And, yes, I'm a fan.

Drinking when we are not thirsty and making love at any time, madam, is all that distinguishes us from the other animals.
