Hope
To know that one has nothing more to hope for is quite disheartening in fact I will go so far as to say that the desire to do better too might die out. Then again a person with sense will realize that hope never dies. It lives on no matter how hard. A little knock and the subsequent fall do not mean that it is the end. The initial shock of the extinguished hope might be hard but then again it’s better to know the truth than to wonder and hope about what might be and what might not be!! If what might be or might not be does not coincide with what one wants it to be then the hope in self might die down. If one looks at the bigger picture it is better for the hope to die and then move on, for life, if nothing else is all about new beginnings. J
Reminded me of the first installment of Sandman, where there is a battle of wits between two charachters on a stand up stage.
ReplyDeleteThe one guy says 'I'm death, all encompassing, all destroying etc.' to which the protagonist's reply is 'I'm hope.' (he wins with that by the way) :)
