Despair

Despair is all that’s left when hope has died ~~
                            I don’t want to think about what comes after despair.

Good idea, Gershon. Almost everything can be repaired.

Now you have me scared Milton. ;0) I think I will head back towards Hope. You did a lot with a few words my friend.

Thank you, Richard. I guess I was thinking about those folks who just give in to their disappointments in life. I have a rough time during fall and winter with seasonal depression, but I never lose hope for the coming spring and summer when I really can come alive again. Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Richard.

Nothing is more destructive than despair, Milt, and your wise words ring true.

Thank you, Lasaad. I think it certainly is among the worst things anyone can succumb to.
