Hope

I'm pretty hopeful a person. I think hope is something that we all should allow ourselves to be driven by. It's not certainty, but it can be very real. Without risk there is nothing to gain right? So by that I feel that hope can be very acceptable. It drives me and it drives a lot of people that I know, and when it's not present in a person's life, it's saddening. To see someone without any hope saddens me. Giving up on hope is like turning off every light in your world. It's like killing every fiber of your being that wants to progress in life happily.

Hope is often misunderstood I think. People demand centainty, which isn't always a bad thing, but to give up on hope and not be able to risk a what if, that's just not living. We need our comforts in life, whether it be religion, love, or solely something of entertainment, hope is something that we crave. It's my belief that everyone hopes for something, for some reason instilled within them. There's no point to living without hope, and if you have a heartbeat, you have a hopeful prayer in your being.

I just wish our world could show more hope, more faith in what feels right. We've advanced a lot in our species. As human beings we can really make the decision as to whether something is true or false, real or fake, we just tend to not open some books. It's a tricky thing to ask however, to try and falsify beliefs, faiths, hopes. I for one am not a believer in organized religious belief, I think it's dangerous and should not be taken literally. I would not seek to falsify it however, I feel that people need their comforts in this life, without them I feel that the masses of believers would corrupt and destroy us all.
