Calvin19 0 #26 September 15, 2006 Sigh. I should have never said anything. Hopelessness. to me it is the most beautiful thing in the world. its the most desperate of human emotions i think. Its when the high schooler is reading his last letter from the girl who just dumped him in the pooring rain. its the way you feel when you watched that long jumper jump the 5 meter gap in the draw-bridge 60 meters above the river, its the way you felt when you witnessed your first base jump from 2 meters away. its that feeling in the seat of your pants as you fly a 30' airplane through a 60' hole in the moab arch. its the way you feel about base before you ever got into it. its not hopelessness as in there is no hope for living, or hope for a beautiful life. Hopeless is the only way i can describe how i feel when i get those moments. if anyone can give me a better or different discription then tall me, please.

Butters 0 #31 September 22, 2006 Hope is an emotional belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances within one's personal life. Hope implies a certain amount of perseverance. I find it hard to believe that you would BASE jump without a belief in a postive outcome. Helpless is an emotional belief that you can not control the outcome of an event or circumstance."That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
