Hopelessness

Hopelessness is the worst feeling of all Hope must be the very scaffolding upon which we build ourselves Because the moment hope dissipates the moment it begins to wear and give way We collapse within forgetting any light that ever previously illuminated the circumstance When you demolish a building, you don't have to destroy every piece but merely compromise its infrastructure The same goes for destroying a person, or even a group of people. You don't have to destroy them as a whole but simply destroy their hope and watch as they collapse inwardly
