Day 147 - The Complexity of Hope

Hope is just not that simple. The idea of hope is a layered experience that is complicated. We usually wrestle with hope when we are feeling the most vulnerable, as it is always the idea that propels us forward when we are facing the worst. Anticipation. Desire. Optimism. These are all related to the idea of hope. When we are faced with uncertainty, we attempt to believe a better outcome, even though we have no idea what is lurking around the next corner. Hope is humanity. The ulimate paradox. The source of great strength, yet also the path toward disappointment.
