Hope is one of the most important emotion a person can have. Sometimes it truly is the only reason you can go on. Why is that? Is it necessary to believe beyond doubt that something good will happen when in all likelyhood the worst is all there is? I suppose it's how the human psyche has evolved to deal with horrible situations and insinuations that you are about to meet a grizly end, much like our subject in the picture above.
Hope it seems to me, is blind. It takes no consideration to what's happening out there in the real world. Without hope i huess there'd be no reason for continuing, there'd be no forward momentum. Saying that, that's only assuming that if you didn't have hope, you'd reside in the other end of the spectrum, hopelessness. But why is that? Isn't there a state of non-hope that isn't hopelessness? A kind of 'blah' point if you get my drift.
Hope though is a hardy emotion, the ultimate silver lining. It's hard wear down and can generally float in any kind of crap that you happen to be in. It can be bolstered, especially if alcohol is involved, it can even be passed along. It truly is the strongest feeling you'll ever feel. Without it though, you'd be nothing.
The point I'm trying to make is, that regardless of your circumstances, never give up, don't lose hope. For if you do, then it really doesn't matter if that grizly end hits you or not. Worst come to worse, even if you do succumb and all is lost, at least you know you didn't give up... ;-)
