Hope is nothing more than a state of faith and optimism before a circumstance of our life. Everyone at some time has been filled with hope, for something specific, for some problem they want solved or a situation they want improved.
This reminds me a lot of the hopes that all of us migrants have for our situation to improve, for doing better in the other country since ours could not, the hope of arriving and getting a job and a good roof over our heads. Those hopes were also mine. Today I hope that in the not too distant future I will be better off than I already am.
Hope, as they say out there, is the last thing you lose
I think that today many of us live from that, the hope that we have that everything will improve, that everything will be fine, that tomorrow we will still be alive, that soon it will be over the quarantine so that they can continue with their lives, so that they can work and continue producing, since many depend on that.
Today more than ever hope is in all of us. Of course life is not lived only from that, we must be well focused and be realistic in the face of inevitable situations. But I can't stop thinking, ¿What would a human being be without hope?
That hope of the terminally or chronically ill person who has to be cured, that something will happen that will change the rhythm of the circumstances, of that child wanting to better himself and make a career, or of that future mother who is in danger of having an abortion, all of us at some time have been in situations that lead us to fill up with hope, because there is no other way.
On the other hand, ¿Hope is the same as faith? I think not, because hope is what we want to happen, it's something like "FUTURE", while faith is believing that it will happen, we talk about "NOW".
Both terms often create confusion as they both have similar connotations. But as I mentioned, they do have their differences.
With faith we have a security and confidence that something will be resolved, while in hope we believe that some situation may turn out well or have good results. I think this can be easily understood.
Our life is full of these two phrases, I think it would not make sense to live without them, no matter how scientific we are, we will need them at some point.
Without faith and hope, we would not be able to cope with this situation we are going through today, full of questions, anxieties, insecurities, there is only the thought that this will happen and that we will soon return to our lives, perhaps not in the same way but everything will improve.
In order not to enter into a crisis, that is all we have, to continue believing that life goes on and that it is worth living it.
I believe that this is a word that has a great meaning in our lives, besides faith, I had faith in finishing my career and I achieved it, I wanted to leave my country to have a better quality of life and I achieved it, now I just hope to continue to meet my goals and that even the coronavirus does not stop me!
So let's not lose them, I know this will happen and despite the losses and bad times, everything will be for the better.
