Leonard Cohen wrote Hallelujah. I am a real fan of his. I discovered this quote while doing some research on him. If judges were to despair of justice I am sure we would see more actual justice. If generals were would only depair of triumph (winning) surely killing would defamed. And if preists (all clergy) were to despair of faith, hopefully there compassion would become more true and charitable. There is not a great deal I can add to this quote. After reading, digesting and reading it again it seems pretty self explanitory to me; yet there is so much said in these few words. I do wonder about the word "secretly"?. Is it so unlikely that they could despair of these things openly? I suppose it is and I am sad about that. Perhaps I need to digest it once again and write further on it another night. But not tonight. I would appreciate anyone elses imput on this.
