Maybe it’s just me, but there seems to be an uncharacteristic imbalance between the concept of hope and it’s antithesis: despair.
To me, the concept of hope is something intangible and distant – gaseous, maybe – whereas despair is something much more significant and solid. Again, this may just be me and my own opinion.
