The Hopelessness of Hope

Feb 04, 2008 10:46

People do not understand my quest. People will even hate me for it. My quest is one of truth, beauty, love, and duty. Many people don't see it that way. Most see it as a waste, as not living life to one's greatest capabilities. Many think I'm limiting myself.
And all I can do is hold tears in my eyes and shrug my shoulders because they wouldn't understand no matter how long I try to explain. I've tried forever to change someone, but its all to no avail. Its dead words. Pointless.
You have to want to change. You can't help someone who does not want to be helped.
I know I often hate receiving help. Its as if I am to admit that I am incompetent on my own (even though this is truth). But I know that I cannot deny truth and I look at every point ever raised as objectively as possible.
Just because I hate the way so many people think does not mean I hate them. Often times I love them. I wish I could be with them.
But of course, its always to no avail.
Sometimes you're better off never hoping.
