Quiet Desperation

This is a fascinating topic I have been thinking about for a while now, and deliberately getting in touch with. It can be an incredibly powerful and motivating, driving force, or it can be crippling. For most people it brews and bubbles far below the surface, they are rarely conscious of it, and when it does creep into awareness, it is quickly shoved back down. 
I think they key is to recognize those moments when it comes close to the surface. Be on the lookout for it coming, even in the peripheral vision of consciousness, and then focus on it as hard as possible. Feel it. Surrender to it and then erase it.
I'll give a hint; think whenever there is a cold silence between people.
