Darkness

The interesting thing I noticed in the writing of Professor Corrigan was about the relationship between hope and despair that was actually stated by Cornel West. "Despair and hope are inseparable." That means that neither of the two can exist without the other. That hope relies on despair to do its job and despair relies on hope to be its solution. Then as I contemplated heaven and the fact that there will be no sadness or mourning the thought of hope is also gone as well. Then I thought of other dependent things like darkness depends on light to not be able to reach. Hate depends on love to be misconstrued and fractured. Anger depends on joy to lose its memory. Yet each of these three will be in heaven, light, joy, and love. So that then made me think why is hope so dependent on despair and the other three are fine. Its because hope is a reaction and not an action. Love, joy and light are all things that remain and their opposites are there only as an outcome of the lack of action. Hope is reacting to a circumstance or merely fighting off the inevitable in the mental scape. I believe hope is a remedy and not a solution. The only solution is something that is an action, something that instead of being merely as a defensive tool is an offensive tool and helps to gain ground. I understand that sometimes the road is complicated when we choose to shine a light or display love or even exude joy. But when we do we unconsciously cause their opponents hate, anger and darkness to lose ground in other persons lives by them jumping a little at us to cause destruction. So by taking action we unwittingly free others and build a resistance inside ourselves. Don't let hope be your last resort but merely your wake up call.
