Despair is perhaps one of the saddest of human emotions, for the hope remains for salvation - for their ship to come in - the knight in shining armor to come by - but the hope is threadbare and wispy and weak. Hanging on by a thread over a precipice. Acceptance is the answer - but accepting what? With despair, there is something wrong that is difficult to put right, and the power to change fee...ls as if it is the hands of another. Freeing the mind is an answer -- but if the mind has been sufficiently deformed, if the heart and will are squished into a tiny space, choking, unable to breath properly - the difficulty can be extreme. Not impossible but extreme. Thank you Photini - I forgotten about despair. Not all things in life can be light and fluffy. "
