Nathan nunca ha sido un gran<\/em> student, but he\u2019s always been a bien<\/em> student\u2014 good enough, apparently, to be accepted at the most popular campus in the state university system, much to the annoyance of his best friend, who has a higher GPA but didn\u2019t get in.<\/p>\n

Nathan\u2019s still not sure how this happened, but his parents are so proud of him they can\u2019t stop telling everyone they know. He\u2019s their oldest kid, their first kid to go off to college, and since neither of them got to go themselves (too busy with the family business, a McDonald\u2019s franchise just off the freeway), it\u2019s like he\u2019s living out their dream.<\/p>\n

Now that he\u2019s here, though, he already knows he\u2019s in way over his head. He\u2019s okay in math, but he\u2019s never been a good writer or reader. Yet every undergrad has to take four\u2014four!\u2014General Education (GE) courses in English. And the only one he could get into this first quarter was Great Books. The teacher is okay but the required reading is massive. There\u2019s just no way.<\/p>\n

So he skips the reading but goes to class every day and sits in the back row and never opens his mouth. And luckily, she never calls on him. Weirdly, he\u2019s actually somewhat interested in the lectures. He wishes he had what it takes to keep up with the work. But ever since he got to campus, it\u2019s gotten harder and harder to focus. He misses his parents. He misses his brother and sister. This is the first time he\u2019s ever been away from home.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s this other thing going on too, a black shadow that is following him everywhere. And though at first it kept its distance, it\u2019s starting to edge closer and he feels like it wants to swallow him up. So he can\u2019t sleep, not until he sees his roommate taking a pill at night and he asks him what it is (it\u2019s to calm you down, his roommate tells him) and he begins sneaking the pills out of his roommate\u2019s bottle and taking them himself. Now\u2014except for the lit class\u2014Nathan pretty much stays in bed the whole day.<\/p>\n

When he\u2019s really missing home, though, he walks down to the local McDonald\u2019s. To get there, you have to cross the railroad tracks. One day, a thought comes to him: If you lay down at just the right place, on the curve so the conductor can\u2019t see you until it\u2019s too late. . . well, then. Problem’s all solved. He\u2019s never going to pass a course at this university, much less graduate. His parents will be totally devastated when he fails out. His friend who didn\u2019t get in will be even madder at him. If he sticks around much longer, it\u2019s a lose-lose for everyone. They\u2019ll all be better off if he\u2019s just . . . gone.<\/p>\n

He decides to do it on the last day of school. He\u2019s got it all planned out. He\u2019ll go to the lit class, then slip out the door and head for the tracks.<\/p>\n

Nathan ha sucumbido a la desesperanza, y la desesperanza mata. No s\u00f3lo mata la alegr\u00eda, sino tambi\u00e9n la ilusi\u00f3n por el futuro. Cuando nos desesperamos, creemos que no hay nada que esperar. Todo seguir\u00e1 igual. Nada mejorar\u00e1. As\u00ed, la desesperanza ahoga la iniciativa, sobre todo la iniciativa de intentar salir de una mala situaci\u00f3n para crear una mejor.<\/p>\n

La desesperanza es especialmente peligrosa para los j\u00f3venes. Seg\u00fan datos recientes de los CDC, 42% de los j\u00f3venes de la Generaci\u00f3n Z afirman sentir tristeza y desesperanza persistentes, y de ese grupo, muchos admiten que piensan en suicidarse. Lamentablemente, a menudo lo hacen: mueren por su propia mano cuatro veces m\u00e1s chicos de entre trece y dieciocho a\u00f1os que de c\u00e1ncer.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elizabeth Seton comes close to succumbing to hopelessness when she is eighteen. Sick of the turmoil in the Seton home, she dreams of escape. \u201cFine plans of a little country home to gather all the little children round and teach them their prayers and keep them clean and teach them to be good,\u201d she writes. Or maybe she can find the refuge she longs for in the religious life she reads about in novels, \u201cwhere people could be shut up from the world, and pray, and be good always\u2014Many thoughts of running away to such a place over the seas, in disguise, working for a living.\u201d<\/p>\n

But there is no such sanctuary available to her, and one evening in a particularly dark mood, she transcribes lines from a famous poem called \u201cNight Thoughts\u201d: \u201cNo bliss has life to boast, till death can give \/ Far greater, Life\u2019s a debtor to the grave. . . .\u201d She finds herself weeping over these lines, then contemplating the bottle of laudanum\u2014opium mixed with alcohol\u2014that her father keeps among his medical supplies. There are newspaper reports of suicides by laudanum of unhappy young people\u2014why not her? She reasons that since God has created her, he understands how miserable she is and will not condemn her for her act.<\/p>\n

But something stops her at the last minute. When she sets the bottle aside, she is flooded with \u201cpraise and thanks of excessive joy not to have done the \u2018horrid deed\u2019\u2014thoughts and promise of eternal gratitude.\u201d She feels as though she\u2019s been delivered.<\/p>\n

Though Elizabeth never again contemplates suicide in the way she does on the \u201cnight of the little bottle,\u201d on occasion she finds herself thinking longingly of death as a blessed release. These moments invariably occur during especially exhausting times, when her burden of responsibility is physically too much for her. Sometimes, instead, she dreams not of death but of a cloistered life with God\u2014solitary, silent, filled with prayer. Even this, however, would demand a kind of death, the end of her noisy, busy, child-centered existence. And she knows she can never abandon her children and the young relatives who depend on her.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christ’s disciples experience hopelessness too. The crucifixion and death of Jesus leaves them devastated. Yes, he told them that three days after his crucifixion, he would rise from the dead\u2014but this sounds crazy, and for a time, all they know for sure is that he\u2019s gone. Then the women go to the tomb and find that it\u2019s empty. But even so, the disciples cannot allow themselves to believe. Hopelessness is easier than risking having their hopes once again dashed.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the end, Nathan\u2019s lit teacher ruins his plans. Just as he\u2019s ready to vanish out the back door and head for the tracks, she calls out his name, walks down the row to his desk and stands there with her arms folded. \u201cI need to know why you come to class each day but never turn in any papers. I need to know why you didn\u2019t take the midterms or final,\u201d she says. \u201cYou know I have to flunk you, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Asiente en silencio.<\/p>\n

But then she peers at him more closely and suddenly, her expression changes. Something about how he looks on this day, his last day on the planet, is apparently setting off alarm bells. She says in a gentler voice, \u201cWill you please come to my office for a few minutes? I think we need to talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

He follows her across the hall. She asks him some questions. He tells her how lonely he is, what he\u2019s been planning. She asks him if he\u2019d be willing to see a psychologist at the Student Health Center. He firmly nods his head. She asks him if by any chance he has some kind of faith. He hesitates, then admits his family is Catholic, that he has always gone to Mass but stopped when he got to campus, he doesn\u2019t know why, and yes, he\u2019d be willing to talk with the nun at the Newman Center.<\/p>\n

And just like that, the moment has passed. Someone has put out a hand, someone he doesn\u2019t even really know, but it\u2019s enough to stop his head-long flight toward self-destruction. His self-imposed death sentence has been lifted. Flooded with relief, then shaking with shock at what he\u2019s almost done, he vows that whatever it takes to get better, he will do it.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elizabeth finds her own antidote to the occasional longings for easeful death after she meets Father Simon Brute, a young French priest who\u2019s lived through the horrors of the French Revolution. Brute, who becomes her most insightful mentor, tenderly fills the role of \u201canam cara,\u201d or soul friend, as she navigates the black months of grieving after her oldest daughter\u2019s death. Urging her to look upward, toward heaven, he points out that everything in the present moment looks entirely different from a distance.<\/p>\n

Though we are infinitely precious beings in the eyes of God, he assures her, from the perspective of eternity we are also infinitesimal specks amid a great whirl of atoms. More, it\u2019s possible to see life from this perspective even when we are immersed in the details of our quotidian responsibilities. Not only does the lens of eternity remind us of the brevity of our earthly existence, thereby freeing us from the temptation to attribute ultimate importance to what is both mutable and ephemeral, it limns each passing moment with the beauty of the transcendent.<\/p>\n

Y una vida vivida a la luz trascendente de la eternidad no puede sino ser una vida que brilla con sentido, prop\u00f3sito y esperanza sin l\u00edmites.<\/p>\n
