Alexander McCall Smith
Thinking about her home in Africa, Precious Ramotswe says in the book, "In the Company of Cheerful Ladies": ". . . there is no point in throwing up one's hands in despair. People have always done that - the throwing up of hands, the shrug - but one got nowhere doing so. The world might have changed for the worse in some respects, but in others it is a much better place and it is important to remember this."

Your posting reminded me of my grandmother and other ladies of her era who promptly, after throwing up their hands in despair, begin to work hard to change whatever the situation which caused the hand throwing... perhaps handthrowing can be an exercise in preparation?
