Polarbutterfly: "Well,I must say that during my young adult life,I've had many struggles.And,to me,hope means that although I've struggled,there's always "hope" to come.Now that I've matured,I have nothing but respect for the simple things that life brings.I "hope" you all get my meaning"

That's cool too you are all welcome to hijack the thread I certainly have been guilty enough times. I was just tired of polls and was wondering how many people hold hope close to them as I do. I should have realized. Plus I like to get all your take on things.

gozoman2: Life is hope.
It is the driving force that makes us want to go further, beyond the now, the today.....
It is the reason for us to be.
Hope is light. Without it, there would be only darkness.

In response to: What does the word hope mean to you? You can quote the dictionary if you must or thesaurus, but I am really looking for what it is for you personally. It has become a very important word to me over the years and I am colored by my past Christian world views but would like your take on it.
Hope is one of those concepts almost like love to me or joy or those wonderful characteristics or at times part of some people's actual being that is so important and precious it is hard to define. It is there deep within but words don't seem adequate to embody it and bring out all the various aspects. Like love it transcends just one aspect of our lives but can carry over into anything.
If we are ill as I have been struggling with my asthma lately it's hope that the spring thaw and warmer weather will be here and I will feel energetic again.
At the same time for the larger picture in my life hope is that one day some poem or blog or something I write will reach out to many people and show them the need to really start connecting with each other. Bit egotistical there but that is my heart.
Hope illuminates the path ahead when there is darkness around and even naysayers who would stop us. Hope keeps people fighting when they have serious illnesses. Hope is strength and passion and not passive but a living vibrant thing. It is almost an entity in itself at least in my opinion.
There is hope that the war will end and that many of our boys will be home soon and that someday we will figure out a way to be at peace with each other. Hope is something that many of the great leaders down through time inspired in others. Such as Martin Luther King.

I would say for me hope is that life doesn't end with dirt.
It is the culmination of desire and possibility.

So well stated, Gozo. I will go one step further and add that life and love are hope. Those are the driving forces...
For without love, life is bleak indeed for us humans.
