Despair



Despair is the combined feeling of hopelessness and helplessness—that no external or internal effort can change the current circumstances of suffering. It is perhaps one of the most painful and overwhelming emotions, capable of breaking our spirit like no other. The great counter to despair is hope, though even when it is found in unexpected places, we have to be willing to see it.
