[The_Eaglet]

From the moment when he will have not only recognised in an abstract manner, but understood in the depths of his being, that is to say seen, that everything is not necessarily lost if there is no cure, it is more than likely that his inner attitude towards recovery or non-recovery will be radically changed; he will have regained the liberty, the faculty of relaxing to which we referred at length further back.

This is a good point and a consolation I take in addressing illness.

I will pray for your health. Is there anything more specific for which I could pray?

I also agree with his overall point that despair is an insult to God, because it is a refusal of the hope that He offers.

Thanks, Eaglet.

I also liked the fact that the treason of despair translates to God's being removed from a person ... a person who has no distinct reality of his own absent God. I love the math. He's wonderful.

As are you. Your steadfastness is a joy and an inspiration.
