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 short 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.
