Hope #6

Recently I read an article called Powerful Hope by Steve Goodier. This article is about a general named Robinson Risner who spent seven years as a Prisioner of War, and the only thing he had left was hope. He could only hope and pray that he will see the the world again. He spent four and a half years of isolation and ten months of total darkness. In those ten months he again hoped that he would survive and pull through to see the world. But one day he crawled under his bed and saw a tiny sliver of light and all he could see was a blade of grass, but that tiny little blade was all he needed because to him it represented hope and he knew that God hadn't forgotten him and thats what got him through. This article made me realize how important hope is in my life and without it nothing really matters because I just wouldn't care. Also this article I can relate to Nectar In a Sieve because Robinson Risner in this article is like Rukmani in Nectar in a Sieve they both have hope and without it they both probably would have died. Also the last few sentences in this article state "It seems to run on forever on nothing but a morsel of hope. Without it, you have nothing. With it, nothing else matters." This quote not only explains the story in the article and Nectar in a Sieve but also everyones life in general, that everyone can hope for something and everyone needs hope.
