There Is Life and Joy

Do we form no friendships, because our friends might be taken from us?
Do we refuse to love, because we may be hurt?
Do we forsake our dreams, because Hope has been deferred?

Yes, to open our hearts may lead to the possibility of pain but to shut down the Hope in our hearts, is to die altogether.
The full proverb reads this way: “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when dreams come true, there is life and joy.”
The road to life and joy lies through, not around, the dreams of Hope.

To Hope is to be human and that is not a sin.
Excess, or the abuse of others in what we do, or say = is.

So remember this:
There is always Hope!
And from where Hope springs, it is Eternal. :)
