January Monthly Connection

Hope is the one feature in an individual's life in which he can relate to any human being on the face of the planet. Hope can take so many different forms that it is present in anyone throughout the ages. The hope of time , of a new job, of freedom, or of victory. Dreams and aspirations are the fruit of hope. In Waiting for Godot, Estragon and Vladimir are hoping that one day they will see Godot. They never leave their one spot because in their hearts they know that Godot is coming. Hope has the ability to direct people's actions in such a way that these actions may not even make sense to an audience. That is how I felt about the play. I wondered where their common sense was. Instead of wating all their lives for Godot, why not simply follow the boy back to Godot and save save themselves some time? There are things in my life that I hope to achieve. Such as a great career as a doctor and a loving family. The thing I have realized about hope along with this is that hope is pointless without initiative. Without action, nothing that you hope for can ever be achieved so it is necessary to take initiative in order to see one's dreams come true.
