This morning I have been mostly staring down the barrel of the rest of my life as a wage slave gradually sliding into decrepitude, dementia and death.

It's not the #despair, Laura. I can take the despair. It's the #hope I can't stand.

We might be concerned that profound expressions of grief and pain might lead people toward nihilistic #despair. 

While that still might be possible, such is not the case when it comes to the Book of #Lamentations.

More Joubert (transl Auster):
"Resignation is a hundred times easier than courage, for it has a motive outside of us* and courage does not. If both diminish evils, let us use the one that diminishes it the most. (*Outside us, that is to say beyond our will.)"

Tragic optimism - fitting for these times.

"Excessive optimism and delusion, at root, deny that anything is wrong; and if nothing is wrong, there is nothing to worry about and nothing to change. Extreme pessimism and despair are so grim they essentially say that any action would be pointless. Between these two poles exists a third way: committing to wise hope and wise action.

Wise hope and wise action ask us to accept a situation and see it clearly for what it is, and then muster the strength, courage and resolve to focus on what we can control. We remind ourselves that we have faced challenges before. We continue because to stand still is not an option."
