Selling Hope

Selling hope is a big business these days. Look around. What do you see? There are shops in every nook and cranny. Even where you are sitting, there is a shop set-up, selling hope. It doesn't matter if all these shops sell the right thing. What matters is that they sell hope.

Hope makes all things better, just as 'love' overlooks mistakes. Hope clarifies cynicism and curtails despair. Moments of happiness depend on hope, moments of sadness depend on hope. Chances of you surviving your 'age crisis' dangle securely on hope. But for me to post this up and hope you all read this post, depends on the net connection and your willingness to sit through this. Jokes apart, it's hope that makes me want to keep writing. Clearly, Hope wins. Uncannily, seldom. Because hope comes to those who linger on, persevere, if you will. And when hope comes, it brings love and it brings faith.

In times of economic meltdown, political rundown, military charge down what else do we need than a driblet of Hope...and Hope alone! Hope is what this world needs now. And the 'now' is not tomorrow or after the day - it's NOW!

Bless you
