One day, the Visionary visits the Inspirer with news of gloom and misfortune.
“I see darkness looming ahead, quickly casting a shadow upon the earth. I see plague and hunger. I see chaos and fear spreading everywhere. Go forth somewhere safe and befitting the Light that you carry. It will not be safe for you here anymore,” thus says the Visionary.
But the Inspirer speaks in return, “It is when its darkest that people need Light the most. If I go, there will be a greater hunger, one that would cause unbearable famine for the soul.”
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
