Hope

Perhaps the difference between heaven and hell is the proud courage which arrogantly thinks it can dread everything and the humble courage which dares to hope everything. I think it's those who learned to harden their hearts with a certain proud self-satisfaction that life stinks, who have the hardest time trusting in God. Perhaps it's better to have our heads bowed down in affliction and suffering.

I like what Herman Melville wrote about it.

"Hope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity."

-Herman Melville
