There are a lot of things to be hopeful for life, family and the beautiful world that God has given us the ability to wake up in the morning and try again to be the best that you can be at whatever you are doing and also the people who are trying very hard to do things for their fellow human beings these people are the unsung heroes of the world today there is so much good in this world that is never shown because it is not what you would call news worthy these are the things that make me hopeful for the future and then there are the things that should makes us vigilant there are those here in this world that would like to eliminate as many people as possible in the name of religion, politics, hatred, self interests, money, power I could go on but you get the picture no matter what you hear people hate each other for the same reasons that they always have ignorance no tolerance for people who look act or sound different from them these are all of the factors that play into the world that we live in today and you have to look no further than our politicians, religious leaders, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers I could go on but you get the picture this is where we are in the world today and yet with all of this I still feel hopeful that this world can be a better place because I have seen and read about the sacrifices and commitment that people are making everyday to make this world a better place our future here on this planet and our place in this world is yet to be determined but as long as there is another day we have to keep trying because in the end that is all we have "HOPE"
