Why do we love a certain person
and not another?
Because that person awakens in us
a connection
with our best
or worst traits.
We feel one with that person
such that by loving him or her
we feel
that we have also loved
ourselves.
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.
