Despair

Sure, there are worse things happening around the than our personal tragedy. Worse things happen every day, but it shouldn't lead to indifference of personal turmoil. Indifference of personal turmoil leads to indifference of public turmoil.Nothing matters much. Nothing much matters. Despair sinks in and spreads its tentacles, killing all desire to grow, love, live, dream. It leaves a cold, dark emptiness behind. It reflects in the eyes, a lack of ambition and promise, a slack, plastered, shell face, a distant look in the eyes of an observer watching the passerby from a window. There is the closing of the mind, a quietness that settles in, stripping it of thoughts, words and numbing it of all feeling.
