There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep

Summary

This quote suggests that disappointment cannot exist without a strong underlying love or attachment. The depth of disappointment we experience is proportional to the depth of love or investment we have in someone or something. It implies that disappointment only arises when we have high expectations or hopes, and when those expectations are unmet, the feeling of disappointment can be intense. Thus, the quote highlights the inherent connection between disappointment and a passionate emotional investment.

Insurrection: Insurrection as soon as circumstances allow: insurrection, strenuous, ubiquitous: the insurrection of the masses: the holy war of the oppressed: the republic to make republicans: the people in action to initiate progress. Let the insurrection announce with its awful voice the decrees of God: let it clear and level the ground on which its own immortal structure shall be raised. Let it, like the Nile, flood all the country that it is destined to make fertile.

Presumably there is indeed no purpose in the ultimate fate of the cosmos, but do any of us really tie our life's hopes to the ultimate fate of the cosmos anyway? Of course we don't; not if we are sane. Our lives are ruled by all sorts of closer, warmer, human ambitions and perceptions.
