Hope Is All That We've Got!!!

In one of the Greek classics, Zeus asked Pandora 2 carry a box which she is forbidden 2 open. However, just as with Eve in Christian mythology, her curiosity gets d better of her. She lifts d lid n at that moment all d evils of d world fly out n scatter about d Earth. Only one thing remains inside: Hope.
Despite d fact that everything contradicts us, despite our sadness n feeling of helplessness, despite being almost convinced that at this moment nothing will get better, we cannot afford 2 lose d one thing that silently keeps us alive: hope- that word treated with such irony by pseudo-intellectuals who consider it a synonym of fake consolation or deceit . That word so manipulated by governments who make promises which they know they’ll not keep, thus inflicting more wounds on the people’s trust. That word that rises with us every new morning gets sorely wounded during the progress of d day, n dies at nightfall. And yet is reborn d next day, again n again!
There is a saying ‘Where there is life, there is hope’. True. But, then there’s an extension that’s as much true- where there is hope, there’ll be life. As I look across, finding myself n my dear pals immersed in troubles n pains, I take heart from the fact n I hope that- there is a beautiful tomorrow very much in our hands. We just need to reach out for it.

  6. "The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof."

    Barbara Kingsolver

    I agree Chiks.. Hope reigns over all human emotions..closely chased by dreams..and mostly, both mearge together and burn undefeated.
