HOPE is an interesting word. The other night I saw something:

H - hang

O - on

P - pain

E - ends

Dashboard confessional knew the power of Hope, their most famous lyric is remembered by all who hear it - "hope, it dangles on a string". What a metaphor.

Hope is crucial for resilience... its what provides us with the vision we need to create a better tomorrow. Hope might just be one of the most under-appreciated tenets.

Hope can keep you going when nothing else will.

The more I learn and understand human nature, the more I grow to respect the hopeful among us.
