HOPE IS MANKIND’S STRENGTH

 Sir,

In high school I loved literature. I would read anything with the crackling sound of paper until I was introduced to Shakespeare’s literature and my passion for reading was put to real test. I started to have those little doubts if I really had that enthusiasm to read. Anyone who has read Shakespeare’s books would agree that it is sometimes difficult to understand his writings because he uses a lot of metaphors and it is more so cumbersome to decipher what those metaphors mean.

It is from Shakespeare’s astute and aesthetic writing that I got to ask if we are afraid to face life’s challenges - such as dealing with any difficult situations, taking risks and everything around us collapsing. Each and every person has some little cowardice in them, but that which makes us to keep our heads above waters is a four letter word; hope.
It is known that a person can live without food for a number of days, possibly live for three days without water and just a millisecond without oxygen, but a person cannot live without hope.

Depression

Take that away from a person, and they cease to live. With all sorts of sicknesses consuming us every day, rising anxiety and depression, failure and rejection adding to all other forms of stress, hope becomes mankind’s greatest strength.
Those people who are not brave enough in facing life’s challenges need those who are valiant to help them carry on in life. That is why we should never deprive someone of hope for it might be all they need. If you keep hope alive, it will keep you and those around you alive.

When everything around us makes no sense and all that which we touch disintegrating, hope is that one thing we need to borrow and lend without knocking on each other’s doors.
We are not supposed to taste death twice. The universe gave us that single thread which weaves the gap between life and death. Let us cling to that thread and continue to live until we meet our actual death.
