Hope


A single spark could destroy an entire foundation.

 

And this is why Hope is dangerous. We think of 'one' to be small and insignificant. Often we misjudge what exactly 'One' is capable of.

 

A single shred of hope in one person, could be the spark that changes the world. And this right here, is exactly why tyrants of powerful groups, seek to keep you all divided. They segregate you, they give you titles, they give you stereotypes, they label you. Anything to divide you all as people, anything to keep you separated.

 

Because they fear you.

They fear what you 'can' be.

 

Imagine if only for a moment, what the world could accomplish, if we tore down the things that divided us as people. The stereotypes that separate us and make us different.

 

This can only be achieved through understanding. So until everyone understands that, I shall be here.

 

"Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach to you"
