Hope
I shamefully often think that there is no hope left in the world. I think of all the horrible things that happen in the world… murder, theft, assault, rape, hunger, gossiping, bitchiness, inconsideration, reduction in family values, fighting for religion, wars, etc, etc… I do not think I need go on.
Yet sometimes I realise that Hope is still very much alive. Take the case of Madeleine McCann. Her parents have still not given up hope. I admire them for that. They hope that she is still alive and well. And for their sake I hope so too. Hopefully she was only taken to fulfill a mother’s void and that person will eventually realise the pain she has put Maddy’s parents through, and may return her safe and sound.
Perhaps I am sceptical and lack hope… but hope still seems very much alive and around, and perhaps that is why there is hope left for the world because each of us has precious hope!
