The Despair Event Horizon has its advantages. Your expectations are no longer dashed. You feel numb -- if not comfortably, at least not uncomfortably. And what, after all, can you lose? But if, in that state, someone inspires you with even a fragment of hope -- it is terrifying and often painful. You might start to feel again. You might be in danger of losing something you care about, because you might start to care. Perhaps it was just a Heroic BSOD or a case of having your Jade-Colored Glasses on, after all. But then, there is the peril that this might prove to be the Hope Spot.
