MAN NEEDS HOPE. [PART 2]

We experience minor setbacks and major ones. Some of us experience catastrophic events in which all hope appears extinguished. Consider for instance,those who suffered in IDP camps;physically abused,daily threatened by murderous death,enduring the loss of all property and privacy and mourning the extinction of so many friends and relatives. But despite all difficulties,we have to dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming-well,thats like saying you can never change your fate. As Samuel Smiles would put it "Hope is the compasion of power and mother of success:for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles." When you have lost hope,you have lost everything. I always tell myself;If pain must come,may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live and i need to live it the best way possible. Strange as it may seem I still hope for the best,even though the best,like an interesting piece of mail,so rarely arrives,and even when it does it can be lost so easily. Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come whispering "It will be happier...." Because the truth be told,A man begins to die when he ceases to expect anything from tomorrow.
