This four letter word is something i have come to dread these days....

It is an emotion/feeling/thing that is so deadly/dangerous/exhilarating/kicking that it really makes life either miserable or completely blissful. It can devastate you or simply make your life.

When i see people hopeful...it scares me. Coz it reminds me of the many thousand hopes bubbling inside me. They are hopes of further happiness, hopes of further achievement, hopes of a better situation, hopes of a MAGICAL world! Maybe some of these are downright stupid and unwarranted. But all cant be. Some people live their entire life in hope and even die with it. Some people abandon hopes in the guise of 'practicality'. But one thing i have learnt is that Hope can help one survive. It can make the going easier. It can help the person in a bitter phase of life really cheer up and discover the postitives of life. It can make you realise that everything around you can turn out the way you want it to, only if you work enough towards it and you have faith in that effort.

But when that hope crashes, the misery it brings can be unbearable.

Maybe it is too drastic..but i have realised that:

If you ever Hhope-

1. abandon that Hope before it kills you

or

2. Work towards it in such a manner that your faith in your Hope never fades

 

Hoping to Hope again...Hoping to have the courage to Hope again!
