We can find in the Holy Scriptures that despair is useless and never ends. Some poets and storytellers also want to make this clear.
In this world, we have so many things to take into account and we must be careful not to get caught up in a whirlwind or a whirlpool that drags everything down into the depths.
Desperation often ends in disaster, whether individually or nationally. People who are close to despair become dangerous not only to themselves but also to others. That is why it is important that those around them ensure that no one has to become desperate.
Negative thoughts often cause people to fall into a downward spiral, where they risk losing faith in the future and becoming desperate. When you feel downcast or discouraged, try to lift yourself up with positive writings from the Bible and other positive sources. Try to find a way to live and love in more peaceful ways, and find happiness and energy in those you surround yourself with.

Desperation seldom works…
Like chasing the wind, it is a fleeting effort at best
At worst it’s a painful and humiliating defeat
Reality bites
Leaving us lost and alone
searching for answers that elude us at every turn
Desperation is an instinctive reaction
hoping to protect ourselves from the truth
that is clearly right in front of us
Painting: Dwight L.Roth
