When do we start feeling hope?
As is with most complex emotions,
babies do not feel hope‘s notions.
As children, we feel our need to construct the foundations of love and fear.
The fail and the fall more painful each year.
Once we have a simply grasp on either or both of those,
we then begin to form basic concepts of hope, I suppose.
As a child , when I hoped something would come to pass,
I left my heart open to trespass.
What is possible?
What can be achieved?
Hope forms ideas about what our future life will look like and what we believe.
Who will love us?
What fears we will have to overcome or even concieve?
This hope is not constructed in a time frame, day, month or year.
Hope is a whole concept of our future before it appears,
before the way it will become a reality is clear.
This formed hope, despite is origin, can subconsciously influence every major decision we make.
Where we live, the jobs we chose, the reasons we work and live, who we date.
When in our lives does our hope change from things for ourselves vs. things for the greater good.
Why is the difference important and are we responsible once it’s understood?
If you have never been suppressed, stripped of freedom, knock on wood.
What if we ignore our human need to be motivated by hope?
What if we never established the construct of hope or struggled to keep it afloat? Hope’s value is tied to physical and emotional pain, hurt and sufferings.
Complex constructs about Hope for the greater good born from the worst things.
The greatest accomplishments after starting with nothing.
What does this mean?
Societies suffering under the rule of a ruthless dictator that don’t but could,
will have the highest number of people hoping for the greater good.
Freedoms forsaken, worth taken, wills shaken, Conclusion…Revolution
