Diferença entre "despair" e "desperation"
Hi there!
Acabo de consultar e vos transmito a resposta vindo de fontes nativas:
Despair: Mais passivo. Mais associado com falta de esperança, alguém em "despair" não tentará mudar a situação, resignar-se-á com o futuro porque acha que é inútil tentar mudar.
Desperation: Mais ativo. Leva alguém a tomar atitudes que normalmente não tomaria, porque esta pessoa não vê nenhuma saída melhor.
Ex.: In a horrible flood, despair might make you give up and resign yourself to drowning in the attic. Desperation might drive you to steal the neighbor's boat.

Don't despair, it's "desperation"
Yes, if one is in despair he may have lost faith and hope, he is hopeless. One can be overcome by a sense of defeat, seeing no light at the end of the tunnel.
Of course at the end of a hole they say that there´s always a spring, that ejects people to higher places and new begginings!
=======================================================
Desperation is energized despair, vigorous in action, reckless of consequences.

Desperation may lead to blind fury, or somehow to lead someone to fight for his life, for change, etc.
Desperation is also the state of being desperate.
