Sometimes I used to think that my happiness would go on forever just as it was. The summers we lived in, Karen, Toby, Luke and me, would never fade, nor would we ever lose possession of that beauty. The heat of the sun on us. Just hanging out, doing this and that. Little snacks. Jokes and a few games. All quiet on the Western Front, me ol' China. Death was not there.
Thank you Phil. I think a lot of religions,secular and sacred, say thta des[air is an insult to the grandeur of existence - Augustine says it is a sin. But Lukje tells me that the Golden Age was under the reign of Saturn, God of Melancholy. Or perhaps Despair and Melancholy differ. Melancholy, sadness, does not preclude hope. How to change despair into melancholy then....
Even just that little bit of hope is important. I'm sorry you feel such despair 🙏❤️
