Hope

INCIDENT:
I have been watching a lot of movies lately since there doesn't seem to be lots of worthwhile television shows on (well at least with the strange program schedule here). Last night I watched one of my favorites... The Shawshank Redemption. There is nothing better to uplift the spirits then to watch a movie about someone overcoming injustice with determination and the strength of human will.

“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies” - Andy Dufresne, Shawshank Redemption

MORAL:
Hope is a good thing. Without it, what would we have to live for? Or in some cases to die for? When life seems so overwhelming that you don't know how to deal with it, it's hope that gets you through it all... hope for something better... hope that things could be better. We can't live without hope in our lives, and somehow that is something that is easily taken for granted. But it doesn't take much to be reminded. We just have to be open to seeing it.
