Despair

"The torment of despair is precisely the inability to die'. 'Thus to be sick unto death is t be unable to die, yet not as though there were hope of life. no, the hopelessness is that even the last hope, death is gone. when death is the greatest danger, one hopes for life. But when one learns to know the even more horrifying danger, one hopes for death. when the danger is so great that death has become the hope, then despair is the hopelessness of not even being able to die"- Soren Kierkegaard- 'the sickness unto death'
