Hope and Hope-less

It’s not exactly before midnight...or maybe even close to it. But, my girl is having a night out and I am not invited, so what the hell. Let me share the boredom with you guys, they say sharing helps. And well, being the blog owner has its own advantage. Kidding guys, as if a blog owner is the highest authority on earth. But I am stuck with a stupid movie list and my friend is not even online during daylight saving! She’s probably sleeping with curtains pulled. So, I came in to write the first part about the most volatile thing.

Emotions...that is one crazy sea every sailor fears to sail in. We start the talks at our yacht and we get drifted to some god forsaken island. Then we wonder how we got there and ways to get back home. Wait for help, dive in on your own...once you are at a different island...you are pretty much done. Some lucky ones find the yacht again. Humans and emotions...It’s said that emotion and the ability to express them is what makes us human. But the connections between heart and brain, who is doing the thinking when...or is it just a way to get excuses for out indecisive and volatile thinking...I still get confused with all. We should solve the mystery someday...but not today. Last night I was wondering what makes us weaker...Hope or Fear.

Hope is a feeling that keeps us calm, it tells oneself that everything will turn out just fine. It in a way makes a person do a particular thing.

Fear on the other hand tells oneself to stay away. It makes a person “NOT” do a particular thing.

One thing I always did was to bank on hope. We keep thinking so much that everything will turn out good that we start actually believing in what is not there at present. Hope is one thing that seriously keeps us pinned to the past. One of my best friends always told me “Why do you keep standing in the middle of the road? Move to either side” and I always gave her the same reply “I am waiting to get hit”. I never could. I believed so much in hope that I lost so many wonderful things along the way. So I thought “Hey, Hope is taking all the credits! Let’s do some justice to fear too.”

You know guys; it’s very good to keep up hopes. It will hold your hand in worst times. It will always keep you motivated and energized towards the future. Nobody knows what is out there waiting for you today and fear always kills half of you on the spot. You can’t swim...you won’t go in the water. On the other hand, fear can be a blessing too. You can’t dance...you will a different way to be charming. But I believe that hope takes away one very important thing – Alternative. You will always find ways to do things differently if you fear something. But you would be stuck at one spot if you hope too much.

I was in my college when I realized that something was wrong with good old hope. There was one question I was stuck with while experimenting with alternatives; does hope give us a temporary boost while actually weakening us over the years? Should we really bank on a cheque that might come instead of getting a new job? Angels and Demons, both are powerful; both can ruin you. Why are angels good then?

Small shots of fear always keep us pinned to reality. Hope on the other hand is like a mars bar, it keeps you high till the taste is there. When it’s gone you miss it. I believe we should hope-less and look for alternatives. Make life a roller coaster ride; ups and downs have their own fun.

Twist the emotions people and let me reach a conclusion.

Take care.
