Imagine if you had no hope, life would be unbearable.

Essentially, you’d feel hopeless, and in a

mental state of despair. Your mind would descend into the depths of depression—you might feel
suicidal. When a love relationship ended, you would believe that there is no one for you in the
future. If you lost a job, you’d believe you’d never find another. If you became sick, you’d
imagine you would never get well again. If you suffered from terminal illness, you’d tell yourself
that when life ends there is nothingness, nonexistence. You’d suffer from existential angst.
