Hope

Ever thought, what is that one thing that keeps you going?

HOPE is the answer. Hope for a better job, life, future, etc. For Shakespeare, hope is the medicine of the miserable, for some a species of happiness, for some grief's best music, for some life is meaningless without hope and for some like a friend of mine hope is a BITCH!

So is hope a bitch or life does not make sense without hope? Being a combination of a pessimist and an optimist (I am still wondering to which school I belong), I would not agree to both the arguments. It is not that life does not make sense without hope, because hope itself is devoid of any logic. It is basically your unfulfilled want, however impractical it may sound. People might think hope is a bitch as in the case of this friend cause they think they have been alluded by hope. But come to think of it does hope abandon you or you abandon hope? I think its more of the later than of the former. They stop believing in hope and hence think it is deceitful.

Though hope lacks logic, it is the single thing that keeps us going. Think of a guy who was not as blessed as you and me are and has to study under street lights. Why does he do that? He hopes to change his current situation. For a mother, her children are a ray of hope. They bring glory to her. They achieve what she could not and that is how she chooses to devote her life for them. I would say hope is a passage to happiness. And to be happy, you have to believe you will be happy and its hope that makes you believe you can be happy. So hope keeps you going. You have to believe some day tables will turn and your efforts will bear fruit. After all success comes to them who are patient and are ofcourse are hopeful of success!
