Topic: Hope Through The Years

At the beginning of a quest, hope abounds. The hope of youth overflows with their belief they are invincible and will never die. However, as we get older we see hopes and dreams fade away as we struggle through the years. In our middle to older years, we are more content to live out our days with smaller hopes and dreams we can believe are more realistic. Even in our senior years we need to always be able to look forward in life with a positive hope. When we no longer look forward in life but instead look backward to "The good old days" we have put our life on hold. A life on hold with no hopes and no dreams is a life lived on the edge. We can easily slip into a state of constant depression and darkness without hope for tomorrow. When we enter a state of depression and darkness our health can begin to falter because our body's immune system begins to break down. A human body without the psychological energy provided by hope is a body at risk.
