how much of my life have I wasted in fruitless pursuit?
How many times have my hopes been crushed?
How many times am I going to endure this unchanging pattern?
am I really just wasting my energies, wasting my breath?
Why do I buy into the hype?
Is it time to give up hope entirely?

Is it time to give up hope entirely?

If you have enough hope to ask that question rather than assume the answer, then the answer is no.

-Hugh Prather

No, it is not time to give up hope, for you've felt that way before, and it came around. Life cycles, and there will most likely again be a time when you ask yourself these questions, but between now and then there will also be a time when the questions seem irrellevent.

I felt like this a few weeks ago, and you managed to cheer me up. I hope that you feel better too.
