The Craziness of Hope

It is truly absurd to choose hope. To imagine a good thing and then to believe that good thing will come true, as we live and exist in a broken, cruel, grueling world that only wants to destroy you and any good thing you have in your life is like believing you can roll up the sun and stick it in your pocket. And the truth is, you can. I do it all the time when I need an extra little brightness in my day. You cannot have hope without having faith. The sun is very big. Our hope, if we are honest with ourselves, is much bigger.
