More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

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
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
It's despair at the lack of feeling, of love, of reason in the world. it's despair that anyone can even contemplate the idea of dropping a bomb or ordering that it should be dropped. it's despair that so few of us care. it's despair that there's so much brutality and callousness in the world. it's despair that perfectly normal young men can be made vicious and evil because they've won a lot of money. and then do what you've done to me.

And so the reliance on property, including the reliance on governments which protect it, is the want of self-reliance.
Government Self Want
Doubt is thought's despair; despair is personality's doubt. . . . doubt and despair . . . belong to completely different spheres; different sides of the soul are set in motion. . . . despair is an expression of the total personality, doubt only of thought.

Where these reduced (operational - e.w.) concepts govern the analysis of the human reality, individual or social, mental or material, they arrive at a false concreteness - a concreteness isolated from the conditions which constitute its reality. in this context, the operational treatment of the concept assumes a political function. the individual and his behavior are analyzed in a therapeutic sense - adjustment to his society. thought and expression, theory and practice are to be brought in line with the facts of his existence without leaving room for the conceptual critique of these facts.

The saved sinner is prostrate in adoration, lost in wonder and praise. he knows repentance is not what we do in order to earn forgiveness; it is what we do because we have been forgiven. it serves as an expression of gratitude rather than an effort to earn forgiveness. thus the sequence of forgiveness and then repentance, rather than repentance and then forgiveness, is crucial for understanding the gospel of grace.
