No Hope
What is hopelessness? No hope.
Obvious answer. No offense. But really, what do we understand of this wretched human emotion?
So, what is hope? Easy, it is the expectation of something to happen in the future. Most likely it is something desirable, something that would make us happy. Without this little gift in our lives, what would life be? Would life be miserable? Could one endure?
Sounds not too difficult? May be, if it is not understood. Think about those who only have hate and sadness in their lives. No matter they are satisfied or not, they are hopeful – for the worse (for others/themselves). This is not despair.
Hopelessness does not have a merciful mind. It is the complete absence of expectation, no matter good or bad. Life stops right there, without direction to head. No goal, no drive to live or die. No purpose. no point. All blank.
Horrible to think? Impossible to live. It is not a catchword, rather, a tormenting state of mind. Those who understand the pain would not speak casually. Those who do not know, have no right to judge.
Spare the hopelessness, by respect and understanding.
Afterthought of “Monk, Season V, Mr. Monk Gets A New Shrink“
for the very first time in my 48 years walking this earth i have no hope. it happened just the other day and if you have ever opened your eyes in the middle of the night and peered into the total blackness just before they adjust this is what i have been seeing for the last few days. it is an emotion i was sure i would never experience for my name has always been hope thru all the crap the universe has tossed my way. and then very quietly the other day everything stop. i saw no future ………. not five minutes away not 5 years away. it took me about a 1/2 to realize what it was i was (‘nt) feeling……(hope)
hopelessness……………..

Yes, i think most of us have this experience somehow. The total blackness shielded everything, no matter what it is. The feeling of hopelessness is so strong that it paralyze our body, our soul.
Nonetheless, it is this hopelessness remains us what we are desperately hoping for. And, how many efforts that we have put on it.
