Where lies hope, my friend, in this tangled mess
Of life's many twists and turns knotted tight?
Can hope be, my friend, in this tortured soul
Battered by life's storms and drowning alone?
What is hope, my friend, to the losing of will?
A meaningless word, a concept so trite.
Hope, my friend, is no friend to those such as I.
A teaser, no more. No support in the void.
No hope, my friend, no hope.

I think sometimes we just need to hold onto the hope!
CP
But "No hope, my friend, no hope" there to hold.
Not sure what to say Calum, just i hear you. No good at the old advice as am there myself very much so.
Awful place to be, circumstance, situations so on, bring us to a place, looking at the people supposedly helping have lost all hope and trust. Maybe should not say that at all, but place am at, at present time.
Cannot think of anything better to say just wanted to say i hear you and felt for you.
There's always hope, Calum. It goes with faith and charity and eventually wins through.
Feathers Thanks for knowing and feeling.
James Not necessarily so.
There is hope, calum. Always, you may not know it or see it or acknowledge it but it's there and you'll find it one day.
I think I might post something I wrote a long time ago about hope. If I can find it. (The writing that is not hope!)
James and Liz are right. There is always hope. Even if you can't see it, it is there. So hold onto the thought and as James said, it will eventually win through.
It's interesting to read others' thoughts on hope. Me and Hope have a constant battle. Most of the time I feel that 'hope' is something that's trotted out to appease the masses - a useful and effective tool to manipulate the mood or religiosity of others.
Being a practical, feet on the ground sort of person who doesn't do imagination or fantasy very well, I'd prefer to see tangible positives here and now or the delivery notification for same for next Friday at 9am!
I can see though that it's true; you never know what's round the next corner. Sometimes positive changes do just come at you completely out of the blue. And it's also true that if you expect the worst then it's more likely that that's what you'll get.
I guess the Russians had a good approach - 'hope for the best, prepare for the worst'. A middle way synthesis. But I still don't think I'd 'hope for the best' - I'd rather 'insist on the best and fight the worst'!!
