The expression "a counsel of despair" means to give advice that is very negative and makes someone feel hopeless or discouraged. It is commonly used in situations where someone suggests a course of action that seems hopeless and suggests giving up. For example, if someone says "we might as well not even try, it's hopeless," that could be considered a counsel of despair. This expression is often used when someone is trying to persuade others not to take action or to feel discouraged.
