hope...

[pissnboots]

Where do we find our hope?? Is it in the stars, the tarot deck, our faith in a God? Is it something that's is purely internal, or can you only get it from an external source? It's when I'm home alone..tired of wearing the masks of society that I wonder if hope isn't a product of itself. Is it, yet another, construct of our unfulfilled minds...something to drag ourselves forward when we just want to stop? Something to ensure that we are productive in our society? Is it a crutch, or a companion...or is it a leash pulling us along. Can not hope been seen as chasing stars...you run after them, grasping at air untill you catch one, only to find out that it's just a firefly. Hope..that all important thing. When someone's down and out you tell them there's always hope, as a nicety. When you're feeling the pang of reality you look to the bright light of hope as a balm to soothe your pains. Is it divine? Is hope something instilled in us from some higher power? Are we unique in having hope? Perhaps we really are only Hoping for Faith and Love =P In this disposable society is our hope disposable as well?? Is it even cherished anymore? Can you really say you know how much hope you possess? Have you ever shared it? Have you ever hidden it? Have you ever hoped for something bad?

All in all hope is as real or unreal as you wish it to be. Then again...isnt' it all relative anyway?
