The end of hope

What do you do when hope ends?

Optimistic people will say that hope is limitless. As long as there is life there is hope.

Is there really?

Tell that to the victims of the shooting in Germany

Tell that to their families

Tell that to the families of the shooter

Tell that to those how was fighting the war in Iraq

Tell them to the victims and families of the Victoria bushfires

Compared to them what am i? How single-minded of me to consider my life hopeless.

I have a laptop and a shelter over my head. I'm already within the top 10% of the world's wealthiest inhabitants (believe it or not)

With the end of hope,

what do you cling on?

what lies do you tell to others?

what charade do you live?

what do you rationalise?

what makes you get up of bed the next day?

what do you pray for?

Do you pray for hope? or pray for the release of hope?

Hope is worst when elevated, and even worst when kept a secret.

Is hope love? or do you love hope?

Is there a difference?

Get up tomorrow. Get up tomorrow and you'll find out...
