expanding my vocabulary of despair

24 Jun

I discovered a new word today; a good German word to describe a complex concept; the kind of word we just don’t have in English.

It also does a pretty good job of describing a feeling I run into all too often these days…

weltschmerz:

1: mental depression or apathy caused by comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state

2: a mood of sentimental sadness

Argh, it’s like I’m Morrissey these days..
