Most of the time we are confronted by situation of "wala" and there are many cohorts like this who: exert very little efforts to find the missing items, solve problems, go beyond their limits. I too encounter this moments. In the absence of knowledge or more inputs, or guidance for solution wisdom, we give up.
And this incident is an inspiration to never stop believing and solving.
It happened in past world war 2 and it was agreed that all prisoners would be returned to their country of origin "immediately" But not the 5,000 American prisoners incarcerated in various camps. They were mostly from Patton's 3rd army. The names, ranks and serial numbers of those missing Americans were gathered and organized. And then Patton brought it up through channels and they were rebuffed by Russians. No such prisoners exist, they are being processed, its taking time.
This infuriarated Patton who failed to get solution via diplomatic channel... He ordered a sub altern, a son in law to organize a team to get those prisoners out. What he did was unusual.
On border of Russian territory, facing the prison camps, he had tanks artillery soldiers stationed. In the pretext of watching over the soldiers safety until processed. Of course this was a threat, not on a war footing. And all of a sudden the soldiers were released fast enough
Lesson: Dont say wala, and conclude that there are no solutions There will be if you try hard enough'
