"Hope is a very GOOD thing"

Tim Robbins echoes this through the layers of dialogues in a subliminal way to Red, the lead morgan freeman in Shawshank Redemption. The movie which teaches us how if one can live upto one's own hope, one's own expectations then he can never dwell in vanity. Nevertheless life has its own way of teaching us. Throws stones at us, makes us go through morbid situations, distress and gloom are designed to be our retreat. Life with its turpitude can actually bring us to that breaking point. The point where we feel like discarding being an earthizen.

But this is where hope reflects upon and helps the distressed to break all odds and over rule. That's when man learns to ride across the barriers of the dictatorship of distress over his life. These are the points when we realize that its not only we who are sinned or cursed. Its mandatory for every soul to have his own share of rejections and setbacks. Just that it becomes visible to the outside for some people and invisible for the others.

Taking the instance of Morgan Freeman who had incessantly been rejected to be released from Shawshank jail for 40 long years, finally is confronted with approval of being released. Then is what he realizes how good is to hope, how good it feels when our hopes come true, then is when we realize how good the entire journey of sufferings and torment have proved worthy of going through.

If it so happened that life gives us everything without even a single bumpy ride how would we learn to hope for things, how would we build upon on the divine virtue of faith, how would we know what it feels to reach the end where lies nothing but serenity and peace. Thats what is stressed upon, let time around us, the world around us not make us fall prey to its plotted falling points. Then is when triumph would join hands with us. Thats what is called victory over everything.
