if hope was enough....

i used to think that expectations were dangerous. that it would make us selfish and irrational...always wanting...never giving. so i chose not to expect anything and that way...i won't be disappointed if i don't get anything. simple enough....

hope wasn't so easy to conquer. hoping for world peace doesn't sound as far fetched as expecting the world to live in peace. the latter would be a pie in the sky as some would call it. there are some things that just aren't meant to be. so is it irrational for us to continue hoping? to pray and wish for something that seems....impossible. what about the little things in life? food to eat...a roof over our heads...the clothes on our backs...is hoping enough for those in need? if hope was enough...the world would be so different.

i guess people still need hope. the light at the end of the tunnel that tells them that everything is going to be alright. that somehow...someone will find a way to give them a hand...to save them from whatever it is that is breaking them. and we're all just waiting....waiting....waiting....
