    About this ebook

    The Face of Despair - The Dark Side of Humanity is not
    just about despair or a person in the act of despairing.
    It offers the correct meaning of the despair. The Face
    of Despair has a voice; a person facing a despairing occurrence
    is never silent. The words of despair may not be shouted
    but the person does utter his/her lamentations as their
    feelings of self despair increase. I’ve been a behavioral
    scientist for over 30-years. And as a behavioral scientist,
    I have seen the “dark side” of humanity and the evil that
    permeates this world. I have counseled this broken humanity
    – the substance abuse addicts, the sexual predators, child
    molesters, rapists, criminal elements, the lost, the abused,
    and the desperate that have simply given up. I am often
    asked “Why do you do this? What drives you to look into
    the abyss of depravity and blackness daily?” which is often
    followed by the questions, “Do you really think you are
    doing any good? Is it working?” As a caregiver, I rarely
    think about those questions nor is my work quantitative.
    I am simply a part of the whole...a foot soldier that is a
    part of an army of caregivers worldwide. And I truly
    believe the “whole” is carrying the fight to the demons
    of the darkness that choose to wreak havoc and chaos in
    people’s lives. My goal and purpose for writing this
    treatise is not to solicit a donation or anything pecuniary
    from my readers. Yes, I want something from you...I want
    your awareness. The evening news brings into our living
    rooms daily many of the evil things happening in our world
    but as long as what is happening is someplace other than
    where we are, we stay within our comfort zone of complacency
    and are content within the status quo that we have created
    within our own world. The Face of Despair is heart-wrenching
    and graphic. It will change the way you view the world.
    Like G.K. Chesterton once said, what is wrong with the
    world? I am!"

      The Face of Despair - Harry Jay

      Introduction - I want your awareness

      De·spair [dih-spair]

      Noun

      1.  Loss of hope; hopelessness; 

      2.  Someone or something that causes hopelessness: 

      I’ve been a behavioral scientist for over 30-years.  And as a behavioral scientist, I have seen the dark side of humanity and the evil that permeates this world.  I have counseled the broken humanity – the substance abuse addicts, the sexual predators, child molesters, rapists, criminal elements, the lost, the abused, and the desperate that have simply given up.  I am often asked Why do you do this?  What drives you to look into the abyss of depravity and blackness daily? which is often followed by the questions, Do you really think you are doing any good?  Is it working?

      As a caregiver, I rarely think about those questions nor is my work quantitative.  I am simply a part of the whole…a foot soldier that is a part of an army of caregivers worldwide.  And I truly believe the whole is carrying the fight to the demons of the darkness that choose to wreak havoc and chaos in people’s lives.

      My goal and purpose for writing this treatise is not to solicit a donation or anything pecuniary from my readers.  Yes, I want something from you…I want your awareness.  The evening news brings into our living rooms daily many of the evil things happening in our world but as long as what is happening is someplace other than where we are, we stay within our comfort zone of complacency and are content within the status quo that we have created within our own world.

      The images displayed within these pages are disturbing.  I apologize in advance for nothing.  Truth sometimes hurts and reality sucks and the images depict an evil reality that is not going away.  You may make it go away from your consciousness but it is still there.  As graphic as the pictures contained herein are, they do not even begin to tell the whole story.  They represent a part of the whole and the worldwide anguish the global community suffers daily.

      As I write this, the occupy movement is gaining momentum nationwide, the summer disasters are behind us.  The tsunami in Japan and the resulting nuclear disaster is no longer news.  The Haitian earthquake of January 2010 is almost forgotten, the Midwest floods, the devastating tornadoes in Alabama are no longer sound-bites for us to watch and contemplate. 

      Untitled.jpg

      As I write this our attention is now focused on the collapse of the European Union and the euro.  Greece is in shambles, Spain and Italy are wobbling and on the brink; Germany is rising once again like some ubiquitous Phoenix and the violence of the Arab Spring is subsiding with the collapse of Muammar Gaddafi and his dictatorial rule. 

      All of the above notwithstanding, they are all givens now; they are now reality.  But tell me, what takes their place?  Usually despair takes their place as situations struggle to find some form of balance…someone to take charge…something to make sense of the chaos and the vacuum. 

      Yes, I want your awareness and your attention.  Your have remained within your comfort zone for too long.  Despair is everywhere and it is definitely where you are now.  Despair is simply defined as the absence of hope.  Hope for the best but plan for the worse.  But hope requires faith and faith is a very misunderstood term in today’s world.

      Faith, Trust, and Evidence

      'Faith' is a word that's now misused and twisted. 'Faith' today is what you try to
