Without Light, there is no Shadow. Without Sadness, no Joy. Despair is no fun, of course, but it does make Elation that much better.

What a great Q, very rare these days...
I believe that despair and frustration are a result of our own sin as well as the world attacking us. I believe that through adversity our character is tested and gains experience. God also has a habit of making our problems work out for the best if we are willing to listen to him.

You have to journey through the dark night of the soul to reach the goal of your quest. Despair is a step on the journey, though it feels like the end.

theist...viewed as a lack of faith, so i suppose from your choices it would be considered a defect although personnal i would just consider it a fact of human condition.
