Everyone wants to have "Hope" in their lives. To live like there is going to be a great tommorrow for them. In this fast pasted society where everyone wants everything yesterday, it get a little "outdated" to take a little time to speak about emotional / spiritual issues. Add to that the fact that not all of us are given the same share of resources in the beginning of our lives, life as a very "hard worker" can get a little tense at times. .. Along the way our emotional / spiritual lives become a luxury not a necessiity. I have realized that that human beings have emotional /spiritual responsibilities despite their level of resources that they have or have not. All of us need to learn at a very early age to "quiet our minds" and "calm our own hearts"..along with acceptance of our own imperfections and that of others.
