Dear Gloria,

parag. 7

If you feel you are a victim, you are taking life lying down. You do not have to lie down in defeat nor do you have to get up in anger. There is a more sustainable fuel than anger. Get up because rising is always the thing to do. I said rising, not uprising. You can take life by the hand. You can proclaim life.

I find it difficult to find 3 French equivalents to 1) get up, 2) rising, and 3) "uprising". Is get up the same as rising while uprising is not the same as rising? The dictionaries are not very clear about the distinction between to rise and to uprise. And to get up seems closer to uprise than to rise. I'm getting dizzy now!
