Despair
We were talking about despair ,a situation of darkness and fog
.Actually I find it to be one of lack of a long term framework within
which to hope and to continue to exist. To hope to continue to exist
is what sustains us and every time we face life we build for ourselves
a long term framework,an open-ended framework which leaves closure a
vague possibility. When we grow old the framework becomes less and
less long term.When you are sixty it rarely spans beyond say 10 years
making it seem as though nothing that you will do really matters
.Closure becomes a near possibility ,always looming before you.That is
the fog and darkness of despair.
