Dean KoontzYou won't find the truth of life in morbidity, only in hope.
About This Quote
The Webster's dictionary defines morbidity as a state of being unhealthy, sickly, or unhealthy. In other words, morbidity is a negative adjective describing a negative state of being. The opposite of morbidity is health, which is a positive state of being. The meaning behind this quote from Mark Twain is that those who live in a state of morbidity have missed the greatest pleasure in life, namely hope.
When hope is absent, life can seem dismal and meaningless. In contrast, those who live in the moment and enjoy the experience of life as it comes will always have hope to sustain them through the good and the bad times.
