Despair

Erik Erikson's 8th stage of his developmental theory is old age, and the conflict is this:

Integrity
vs.
Despair

The key idea is that you either look back at your life as successful, or unsuccessful.

Already, looking forward into my life, Despair is the overwhelming favorite in this heavy-weight match-up. Despair is predicted to knock the fuck out of Integrity in one round...probably the first punch thrown.

So buy your tickets to this match today! A brutal beatdown with plenty of blood that is sure to bring you home pleased!
