indeed. there's a myriad of different responses and ways to process this encounter. the rub is that most think that any one of them is more important than any other and this leads to continued faith-based awfulness which perpetuates and creates more awfulness, as your experience is describing.

no future is most Beautiful, i think, when it's approached as an "as if" and not an "it is". unfortunately, the optimist's interpretation (generally the loudest in the room) suffers the same problem as all other faith-based delusion and the result is always more, worse, or simply new awfulness.

the anarchist approach to the question of despair gives no future.
no future gives the anarchist an approach to despair.
