Rage, rage against the dying of the light

If you are struggling with sickness, illness or mental health issues, you have to fight. It can be tempting to become passive, but you must fight. You must treat the issue like a bully and bullies don’t like it when you fight back. If you fight back they are likely to go elsewhere and that is just what you want.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
—Dylan Thomas
