Perhaps the best approach is to calmly accept the reality unfolding before one's eyes?
When devoid of all other solutions, people tend to find the most fitting excuse for themselves.

After accepting the reality of the situation, there is no room for further hesitation.
Consideration for anything else becomes completely unrealistic.
