Hope is when you can see something where nothing tangible exists. It is hope that drives men and women to the day of tomorrow with such confidence that cannot be shaken. It is hope that drives us forth to fathom an endless world. Whereas others are dreaming of such things as betterment and a future of bliss, there are a few who have dared to harness the hope of others to bring themselves riches of untold magnitude.
Greek mythology narrates how hope came about. The first woman on Earth, not Eve of course, but Pandora, was given a box by the gods which she was not to open under any circumstance. Well, you can guess what she did, too curious to resist the temptation, she opened it, and all the evils of the world flew out: hate, pain, destructiveness, and starvation. When Pandora saw what she had done, she closed the box before the last thing in the box could escape. That last thing was hope. Seems hope is the human weapon against the probabilities of adversity!
We are always hoping for a better future, an indicator that this present is not the best that we could have. No one is content; adversity is the park of man’s walk. Then really, hope has nothing to do with money. It's not merely a wish that things will get better tomorrow, but an actual belief, even when there may be no evidence that anything will change or even when the available evidence as a cloud is in the hands of the divine. Hope can encompass a wide variety of beliefs – it cuts across society, from the young rich man in the pent house of a city to the Bedouin herding his camels and sheep in the night up high in the mountains of the semi-arid lands of the Middle East
