If ever there were a driving force for man,
it would be love. A secondary force
based upon love is hope. I see,
this keeps me going at many hard
periods of time. Hope and love. based upon
each other. The feeling that comes
knowing loved ones will be waiting, that
is hope. Hope that your loved ones will
be there when you return. The
love that you feel for them.
Man may be able to take
many things from their "fellow man",
one thing that cannot be taken is the
soul, love, and hope. These things,
too, shape our lives.
May God help us all, and bless those
from whom all wisdom comes: all
of us; and enliven in us the hope
that this wisdom will be judged not by age,
sex, race, or creed; but by experience.
