After hearing Christopher Robinson talk about hope, I've been wondering why the Democrats have been leaning so heavily on "hope". Clinton was "the man from Hope," and Obama has "the audacity of hope."
I mean, Republicans presumably have hopes too. Bush seems to have hoped, originally, that the Iraqis would all unite behind us once we overthrew Saddam.
Hope is an expectation of good things happening. But the good things can fail to happen. They may have been impossible.
And sometimes the things you hoped for turn out to be no so good after all. Communist revolutions come to mind, but the list is long and varied.
Sometimes your hopes
are slippery slopes
which sadly divert you
and finally hurt you.
Don't despair.
But choose hopes with care.
