In the world it is called tolerance, but in hell it is called despair...the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

More From Dorothy L. Sayers

Sin is: before god, or with the conception of god, in despair not to will to be oneself, or in despair to will to be oneself. thus sin is intensified weakness or intensified defiance: sin is the intensification of despair. the emphasis is on before god, or with a conception of god; it is the conception of god that makes sin dialectically, ethically, and religiously what lawyers call 'aggravated' despair.

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

Compared with the person who is conscious of his despair, the despairing individual who is ignorant of his despair is simply a negativity further away from the truth and deliverance. . . . yet ignorance is so far from breaking the despair or changing despair to nondespairing that it can in fact be the most dangerous form of despair. . . . an individual is furthest from being conscious of himself as spirit when he is ignorant of being in despair. but precisely this-not to be conscious of oneself as spirit-is despair, which is spiritlessness. . . .

He who always seeks more light the more he finds, and finds more the more he seeks, is one of the few happy mortals who take and give in every point of time. the tide and ebb of giving and receiving is the sum of human happiness, which he alone enjoys who always wishes to acquire new knowledge, and always finds it.

Are americans afraid to face the reality that there is a significant portion of this world's population that hates america, hates what freedom represents, hates the fact that we fight for freedom worldwide, hates our prosperity, hates our way of life? have we been unwilling to face that very difficult reality?
Hate Fighting Reality
An individual in despair despairs over something. . . . in despairing over something, he really despair[s] over himself, and now he wants to get rid of himself. consequently, to despair over something is still not despair proper. . . . to despair over oneself, in despair to will to be rid of oneself-this is the formula for all despair.
