In a world full of danger, to be a potentially seeable object is to be constantly exposed to danger.

So to be sick unto death is, not to be able to die-yet not as though there were hope of life; no, the hopelessness in this case is that even the last hope, death, is not available.

So when the danger is so great that death has become one's hope, despair is the disconsolateness of not being able to die.
