"Unfortunately, when hope diminishes, hate is often turned toward those who built up the hope."

[Clio the Leo]

"Unfortunately, when hope diminishes, the hate is often turned most bitterly toward those who originally built up the hope." ~ Dr. Martin Luther King

1. Great quote.

I can only hope that people here have not let their hope be diminished.



Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

~ Emily Dickinson

[Clio the Leo]

2. I think some view Hope as a pop tart...

.... ready in 60 seconds if you want it warm ... but no work at all needed if you expect to eat it now ... and most do.
