Hope is a very unruly emotion.

Summary

"Hope" refers to a powerful and unpredictable emotion. Inherently unruly, hope does not adhere to logic or consistency. It transcends rationality and can manifest in unexpected ways. This word encapsulates the idea that hope can't be easily tamed or controlled, taking us beyond our expectations and challenging our perceptions. It reflects the unpredictable nature of hope, reminding us that it can steer us towards unforeseen outcomes, both positive and negative. Ultimately, hope's uncontrollable energy emphasizes its immense influence in the human experience, often guiding us through the most uncertain and challenging times.

A mother's love is like an island In life's ocean vast and wide,A peaceful, quiet shelterFrom the restless, rising tide. A mother's love is like a fortressAnd we seek protection thereWhen the waves of tribulationSeem to drown us in despair. A mother's love is a sanctuaryWhere our soul can find sweet restFrom the struggle and the tensionOf life's fast and futile quest. A mother's love is like a towerRising far above the crowd,And her smile is like the sunshineBreaking through a threatening cloud. A mother's love is like a beaconBurning bright with Faith and PrayerAnd through the changing scenes of lifeWe can find a haven there.... For a mother's love is fashionedAfter God's enduring love,It is endless and unfailingLike the love of Him above. For God knew in His great wisdomThat he couldn't be everywhere,So he put His little ChildrenIn a loving mother's care.

The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof.
