Hope
Hope. Hope. Hope. I keep on repeating that word seeing if it will bring a new light on me, or I will bring a new light on it. Hope. Hope. The positive prospect towards something good. Hope. Hope. But what about when Hope is deadly? When Hope is the feeder of all expectations just to be let down? Hope that can fool you, destroy you, betray you. Isn't that a new view on Obama's 2nd favorite word? Hope. Hope. Hope. Hope. When you say it, air rushes through, enlightening an idea, but think about it. Hope. How much do you want to rise with Hope, at the risk of being demolished with failure? Is it worth it? Is it worth it to Hope for the things you desire the most, and can visualize but cannot confirm? What do you gain in comparison to what you loose? Hope. Hope. Hope. Now have I destroyed the magic word? I'm just protecting myself. I want to hope and I instinctively Hope, but I am equally afraid of it. Hope.

You know how they are always talking about if there's a plus side, there must be a downside? With hope, you can accomplish things that you thought not possible before. With hope, you can persevere and get in and out of situations and do things that wouldn't have happened without it.
But yes, with hope, there is always that chance that you can lose it, and then you may suffer, you may stay at home, you may feel broken and as if things can't go on---
but isn't that a chance you have to take? if you have no hope to begin with, so you won't lose it, you have neither extreme, so it's completely bad. at least with hope you have a half and half of good and bad, maybe even better than that. because once you lose hope, you can often find it again.
I agree with both of you. Hope goes one way or the another: it destroys you or it can save you.
I don't think you have to take the chance. You can always skip the hope and settle for the middle. The middle is safe. However, hope isn't really something you can control. You have it, or you don't. Its nearly impossible to decide which one you want.
I disagree. As I stated before, there is no middle. you either have the extremes of hope and losing it, or you have no hope so no chance of losing it. And if you want to call that the middle, fine. but it is still not a good place to be. Because then there is no hope to motivate you--without hope, you can't have love, without hope you can't have life. Not even if they hook you up to a machine, because that's not much of life, and anywazs, without hope, you will still die, there will just be a machine pumping air and blood through a dead person's body. So to be in the middle is to be on the end.
This disagreements of u 2... thnx for the response tho!
