menjerumuskan banyak orang ke lembah kebinasaan


Explanation:
limbo adalah nama tempat, menurut para pemikir Kristen, sebelum masuk ke dalam neraka.

"In a destructive limbo" adalah ungkapan yang mengandung pengertian suatu tempat atau kondisi psikis yang negatif dan merusak.

Benar kata Mbak Santi, "destructive limbo" adalah kondisi gamang yang cenderung merusak karena tidak ada kepastian nasib dan keterombang-ambingan jiwa.
