3. All hope is AUDATIOUS- that is the very NATURE of "hope".
It's a common mistake that many people make;
You mistake things for 'hope'
because you want to SEE hope;
but most of what you call 'hope'
lacks the audicity of childlike wonder,
unbounded by the limitations of that which is POSSIBLE...

So, most of what we all hope for
isn't really 'hopeful', it's just what we fucking EXPECT.

And that is not at all the same thing.

Hope? Hope for what you think you can get,
and that's all you'll ever do.



I HOPED for someting once, and time itself
stood still, and I understood EVERYTING
that had ever happened to me all at once,
and I saw it all laid out before me like
a Chessboard with a million squares and
everything I had ever done in my life
was a move on that board that had lead to
that moment.


Looking at that chessboard,
every move I MIGHT have made was a move
that had lead up to that moment.
