So when the danger is so great that death has become one's hope, despair is the disconsolateness of not being able to die.Collection: Life
Spiritual superiority only sees the individual. But alas, ordinarily we human beings are sensual and, therefore, as soon as it is a gathering, the impression changes - we see something abstract, the crowd, and we become different.
