It's one thing to be discouraged. it's another thing to have despair. despair is when you think there's just no end to this [suffering]. there's no solution for this. despair is when you think that your suffering has no purpose, and your suffering has no end.

It's One Thing To Be Discouraged. It's

It's one thing to be discouraged. it's another thing to have despair. despair is when you think there's just no end to this [suffering]. there's no solution for this. despair is when you think that your suffering has no purpose, and your suffering has no end.

More From Max Lucado

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.
Individuality Despair Want
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. . . .
Ignorance Negativity Individuality
No matter how clear things might become in the forest of story, there was never a clear-cut solution, as there was in math. the role of a story was, in the broadest terms, to transpose a problem into another form. depending on the nature and the direction of the problem, a solution might be suggested in the narrative. tengo would return to the real world with that solution in hand. it was like a piece of paper bearing the indecipherable text of a magic spell. it served no immediate practical purpose, but it contained a possibility.

Common sense, to me, is simple. and i've never understood why there aren't a lot of people trying to figure out how the united states became this special place and then try to replicate it around the world, because that's the solution to the human condition. the solution to poverty, the solution to misery, the solution to backwards living is the united states of america. why not learn how that happened, learn why and how we happened. what is it that made it special?
Simple America Common Sense
The ever increasing intensity of despair depends upon the degree of consciousness or is proportionate to this increase: the greater the degree of consciousness, the more intensive the despair. this is everywhere apparent, most clearly in despair at its maximum and minimum. the devil's despair is the most intensive despair, for the devil is sheer spirit and hence unqualified consciousness and transparency; there is no obscurity in the devil that could serve as a mitigating excuse. therefore, his despair is the most absolute defiance. . . .
Despair Devil Degrees
I think that there is only one way to science - or to philosophy, for that matter: to meet a problem, to see its beauty and fall in love with it; to get married to it and to live with it happily, till death do ye part - unless you should meet another and even more fascinating problem or unless, indeed, you should obtain a solution. but even if you do obtain a solution, you may then discover, to your delight, the existence of a whole family of enchanting, though perhaps difficult, problem children, for whose welfare you may work, with a purpose, to the end of your days.

An illustrator in my own mind - and this is not a truth of any kind - is someone who so falls in love with writing that he wishes he had written it, and the closest he can get to is illustrating it. and the next thing you learn, you have to find something unique in this book, which perhaps even the author was not entirely aware of. and that's what you hold on to, and that's what you add to the pictures: a whole other story that you believe in, that you think is there.
