Hope
Hope is a very tricky thing. One could think of it as a drive, a push to do something in the light of obtaining something. For example, in the hope of passing an exam, one would study hard. Or, if a loved one is ill, we would pray, hard, hoping that he/she will recover as soon as possible. We hope. A common word we use almost every day, yet we didn't realize how big the real meaning is.
On the other hand, hope could be a malicious disease, that creeps under your skin. It crushes you when we put it too high up. It's merciless, heartless. A mum who hopes for her son to survive a war somewhere in Afghanistan for example, and when the news of her son death reached her, the first thing her hope does to her is; it crushes her. Shattered.
So I hoped. And hoped. And hoped. I can't even see the ground beneath me anymore. I know I'm gonna be crushed one day. I anxiously waited for that moment, I wanna come down, but I just can't. Do you know why? Because it wasn't me that climbed this high, it was you. You put me at such a height then you just left.

Well I believed that hope works both ways; it may crush you, but it may also liberate you. and when you feeling down and helpless, sometimes hope is all you got.
ReplyDeletegood writings barnie. glad i found this blog. keep it up.
True, and it's good when things turn out the way you've hoped for. Personally, I would prefer to not have hope at all, saving myself from the disappointment later on. But whether I like it or not, feeling hopeful is a reflex. It's not something that you could control, really.
