We born to life. Life is a journey with an end. At the end we embark on another life, another journey again.
Today, 5 Aug 08, the newspapers announced that 11 mountaineers had perished in an avalanche just below the summit of K2, the second highest mountain in the world. Some climbers were still missing.
So far there were 284 ascents and 66 deaths on K2. These climbers know the dangers of climbing. But their attitude is "Hope for the best. But if I perish, so be it."
This Friday 8 Aug 08, TOTO is offering a Special Draw with price money of $8 Million. 3 quarters of Singapore are queueing at TOTO booths to place bets of tens or hundreds of dollars, hoping to win a million bucks. Their attitude is "Hope for the best. But if I lose, so be it."
Perhaps that is life. 1 Cor 13:13 says "But now abide faith, hope, love..." Humans need to exercise the element of hope. If there is no risk, no danger, no pain, no uncertainty, then hope is not needed.
I too have several hope. An urgent one is that my investments in the banking and SingTel shares will be profitable soon.
If you have nothing to hope for, then something is wrong with you. Better get out of your comfort zone and start living.
