Despair literally translates as ‘of two’.
Being of two minds is a natural consequence of living a dual reality existence.
Despair is the effect of living at the extremes of a relative duality.
A duality is a drama that is out of balance and therefore unempowered.
At the extent of any duality lies extreme resistance to life.
This is where I experience the height of my despair.
I despair at being out of balance with my natural flow of life.
Having travailed to the extreme of any experience and then travelled to the extreme of its polar opposite experience, I know the desparation of exploring the boundaries of my anger, intolerance & frustration.
When my patience, tolerance & ability is finally exhausted, there remains only the desparation of my Despair.
