Regardless of what is said on these boards about issues in this industry, there is a life going on outside. We eat, drink, live, love, hate, feel frustrated. We dream, we hold, we seek, and occassionally we find.
There should be answers for all the things that trouble us but there is not. In the end, we must live on hope for when it departs, it takes with it our motivation to live. Hope is inevitablly accompanied by its close friend faith. Together they inspire and keep us going at the very darkest of hours. On the other side are fear and question. They are always trying to pull us down unto themselves. And, with some they win. Even when they are alive they are dead for hope and faith have departed them.
In the love of a brother, there can be nothing sadder than not being able to instill faith and hope. We know we cannot do it with a pill, we cannot do it with programs, and, sometimes we cannot do it at all. That which brings us from that saddness is in fact hope and faith.
