A ray of hope

A ray of hope

A few days something happened during attachments which made me realise that hope is something which is easy to catch but hard to put forth to. So what exactly is hope? To me hope is when you believe that something good will happen if you wish hard enough.

Everyone has hopes but sometimes they just get dashed due to maybe some negative stuff or that its just impossible. Okay, back to my topic during attachments. There was once i had hope that i could save this man, but it was dashed. Not because we gave up but because there was really nothing that could be done to save this poor man's life. it really made me realise that hope isnt always there when you need. But nontheless it is hope that keeps us going on everyday.

Have anyone heard of the story of pandora's box? Aparrently the story goes like this....

Epimetheus was given the responsibilty of giving positive traits to all animals but when man came along, he had nothing left. So his brother Promethus decided to steal the fire from Zeus. Upon knowing this Zeus was engraged and decided to punish all mankind thus he created Pandora. Along with other gods, Zeus gave Pandora traits like beauty, charm, boldness, curiosity, etc. Thus the name Pandora "all gifts" was given to her. Apart from that, pandora was given a box which she was told never to open. However her curiosity got the best of her and she opened the box. All misfortune was then released into the world, however, pandora quickly tried to close the box which only left hope. The world became bleak at an instant but soon pandora had the chance to open up the box again to release hope. Moral of this story is that no matter how bleak the world has become, hope will still be there to sooth the pain and misery. So no matter what happens, never give up hope..
