Yes! But it’s not the despair itself that is liberating. When we accept the despair as how we feel right now and don’t try to fight it, we no longer look for something to save us and we don’t have to depend on hope to sustain us. All we have to do is to broaden our perspective to allow a wider view of reality, knowing despair can be a legitimate reaction but so can other responses, and to keep moving on, not expecting success or salvation, just continuing to engage with life as it is as best we can.
