the absence of hope

hope? what is it about that simple seemingly lost, yet potent word? once, a buddhist nun that i greatly respect told me... abandon hope. it seemed so wrong, but it's something to think about.

are the expectations of hope unreasonable? is hope like an addiction that can never be satisfied? is hope necessary to get us up on sad and rainy mornings? what on earth am i really hoping for?

i hear it tapping on my window and i'm remembering that advice...

abandon all hope.
