Why we have to have Hope...?

Before taking this topic I had no idea what to write, this one word made me do a deep research on this topic, as HOPE and FAITH are very close to each other. And here now I am to give my readers a perfect example, an example of a living legend.

Louis Silvie "Louie" Zamperini   --- An Olympian who with his last minute speed took attention of Adolf Hitler. Had a record of a mile, held for fifteen years, earning him the nickname "Torrance Tornado".

He had to give up everything for the war, joined the Force till captured by Japanese and taken to Japan and tortured brutally and tormented far beyond human resistance. A place where he dreamt of getting a medal in Olympic. When all faiths of ever returning home were shattered of his fellow POW (Prisoners Of War) his light was still alive as he kept them distracted telling stories, he kept his HOPE alive and stood tall with his resilience. And finally the day arrived when they all were freed and returned home.

In January 1998, just before his 81st birthday, Zamperini ran a leg in the Olympic Torch relay for the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan.

This is HOPE, first his unquestionable feel of getting freedom and then the long awaited dream of being a part of Olympic in Japan. Sheer trust on his self-assurance about his feeling not anyone else.

That is how we should have hope in our feelings or in our mind as to what we want and have an unquestionable trust in it. There are people on whom we may put our faith upon and upon ourselves about some job to get done or to get us something out of all opposites but hope is far superior than that, it is based on no facts or person or any situation but just a very deeply required result with no strings attached as to how it shall be achieved or happen.

What is it when out of thousands cancer patients who survive miraculously, when a child breaks his/her piggy bank to help a big cause of the family, when an space probe or the telescope is established in space for other life forms, when uneducated parents make their child go to school for the future, its HOPE which keeps the pulse alive every time.

And the best example in INDIA is hoping for the wait listed ticket of a train to confirm at train charting.
