Or, is the future nothing but despair?

How can one live without hope and without nurturing a dream?

Ah, everyone seems to be asking something similar these days.
Well, one thing's for certain.
No one can truly predict the future.
I have hope for my future.
That's not because life's been very good to me.
On the contrary, life's been pretty crappy to me.
But if I just sit there around and do nothing,
Then nothing will ever improve,
In fact, it would only spiral downhill.
By doing something, even if the end result is a steeper downhill path to despair, even if it means death.
So be it.
Men have fought wars they didn't want to.
People are born in Africa, they wish they never were.
Does it mean that the soldiers should just let themselves get shot or that African that just suicide by fasting to death?
The answer must be in the negative.
Even if the situation is grim, and the odds are puny.
If one cannot even attempt to change his future, then he or she has doomed themselves by their own hands.
Why get killed by yourself than get killed by others or by mother nature?

The future can get it's own hope- I'm not giving mine up. Seriously, though, yes. If I didn't, I wouldn't get through the day or get out of bed in the morning. But that is hope for my future, not the overall-everybody stuff. You can have that kind (though there's quite a bit less).

i believe, that by 2025, the world will be pretty much chaos. The world will probably say that all the problems are because we have forgotten God and they will make a world Sunday law. meaning we must go to church on sunday no matter what, even if our religions believe somehing else. then, those who resign, will probably be put to death :(
I don't know where the war is going anyways. do they think that when they find saddam, it's ALL OVER?
I don't know. It's a mad world today... imagine it in 20 years...

Not really, considering the daily self degredation of the human being, morally, genetically and whatnot,
The Meek may inherit the earth, but the Stupid will have their way with it first, and it wont be pretty.

the feeling of hopelesness should be overcome otherwise, you lose the meaning of life. much as there are time e feel desperate, the challenge is get back to your feet and work for a better future.

I have hope- I'm a Christian, and I believe Jesus will come back to Earth and fix things up.
God bless you, have a great day!! =)

If you mean hope in the context of optimism and not desperation, then yes is my answer.
