James HillmanTo hope for nothing, to expect nothing, to demand nothing. This is analytical despair.
About This Quote
Analytical despair is the idea that there are no good solutions to life’s problems. It is the belief that everything is hopeless and there is nothing anyone can do to turn things around. This belief stems from the idea that there are no solutions to life’s problems. If one believes this, then one would have to accept the fact that their life will never improve.
