Despair
Despair may be the forerunner of recovery of vision. (BR, 6)
As soon as a man imagines that no further path remains for him, he shackles his own primary energy. In such fetters there can be no advance. But cutting short the path, the man takes upon himself a grave responsibility. This cannot be justified by despair, for of course this dark phantom is engendered by one’s own weak will. Having lodged in the spirit, this specter actually injures the health. The phantom has nothing in it of reality. (BR, 105)
The worm of despondency is conquered through labor. (LHR II, 406)
