The root of hope

We go through each day with a list of things that we want to accomplish. Much of it realistic, parts of not entirely; we just hope we can get it all done.

Most use hope as a vechile for their own procrastination. Using it as a substitute for a border. What are you trying to keep yourself protect from? Your own fear, disappointment and heart break.

No one likes to face disappointment or their own fears head on, a let alone realize your heart could be shattered. But alas that is when hope enters the picture. Hope becomes your protector letting you believe that if you don't involve yourself in your life or actions, fear won't rear its head.

Unfortunately, something you fail to realize in your analytical process is: assuming the virtues of hope doesn't protect you, but place a road block from yourself and your own eventuality.

Protecting yourself from pain for the short term doesn't mean it won't affect you in the long term. The key is not shelter yourself with falsities like hope and deal with things as the come and be present in your own life to know you must help guide it.

Trying to escape your emotions using hope will only cause you unmistakable pain, the pain you wanted to avoid.
