Cooper sun was about slavery and the severe treatments slaves got by their owners who considered them their property.|||Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to


events and circumstances in one's life. Hope


implies a certain amount of perseverance i.e.


believing that a positive outcome is possible even


when there is some evidence to the contrary.





A person who dreads of 'what tomorrow may bring'


looses the zeal of life itself. He can not live in


the present even for one day. I do not agree that


'any person can fight the battles of just one


day'. There are many in the world who fight their


battles life long, and still live with some hope.





It is nice to live for today and complete what is


to be done today. But humans are distinguished


from the rest of the living beings by hope. For


other living beings, there may not be tomorrow.


But hope is life for humans. Tomorrow may not come


for a few. But the others are sure that there will


be a day after present one. And it is hoped by


many to be a little better than today. What is not


realized today may be within our reach tomorrow.


It is hope that make people to live through all


torments of life. The moment a person loses hope,


the very zeal to live is lost.





Living in the past is dreaming. Living in the


present is intuition connected to basic instincts.


Living in hope of is humanistic rationality


to look for future.





Hope - Pandora brought the jar with the evils and


opened it. It was the gods` gift to man, on the


outside a beautiful, enticing gift, called the


"lucky jar." Then all the evils, those lively,


winged beings, flew out of it. Since that time,


they roam around and do harm to men by day and


night. One single evil had not yet slipped out of


the jar. As Zeus had wished, Pandora slammed the


top down and it remained inside. So now man has


the lucky jar in his house forever and thinks the


world of the treasure. It is at his service; he


reaches for it when he fancies it. For he does not


know that the jar which Pandora brought was the


jar of evils, and he takes the remaining evil for


the greatest worldly good - it is hope! For Zeus


did not want man to throw his life away, no matter


how much the other evils might torment him, but


rather to go on letting himself be tormented anew.


To that end, he gives man hope.





“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity;


an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”


- Winston Churchill





"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life


are something to do, something to love, and


something to hope for." - Joseph Addison





Hope is the thing with feathers


That perches in the soul,


And sings the tune without the words,


And never stops at all,





And sweetest in the gale is heard;


And sore must be the storm


That could abash the little bird


That kept so many warm.





Delicious Hope! when naught to man is left -


Of fortune destitute, of friends bereft;


When even his dog deserts him, and his goat


With tranquil disaffection chews his coat


While yet it hangs upon his back; then thou,


The star far-flaming on thine angel brow,


Descendest, radiant, from the far skies


To touch the deepest depths of the heart





People sow seeds with hope


And hope is the seed of life


People through ages hoped for eternity


Because hope is as great as eternity


Never give-up hope, never ever


Hope is your best mate, all the time


Even if all desert you unexpectedly


Hope will be with you, if you wish....|||my english is not very good but i 'll try........


i believe is humans inner strength, our capability to overcome from horrible situations. Even when we think we can't take it any more there is hope to help us go through it. Humans desire for life is greater than you may think. There is a little voice inside of everyone that encourage us to continue trying...insisting...we all want to left our mark in this world, to do something great or even remarkable and to do that we need to be determine to survive!|||...hope and faith that change will intervene to make their Lives better - i.e. the end of WWII - thus the end of innocent killings and suffering of people...
