Hope, like the gleaming taper

Summary

Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, illuminates the path through darkness and uncertainty. Just as a small flame provides a glimmer of light in a pitch-black room, hope offers a flicker of optimism and possibility in difficult times. It serves as a beacon that guides us forward, providing reassurance and encouragement, even in the face of adversity. Like a light in the distance, hope fuels our determination and inspires us to persevere, reminding us that even the darkest night will eventually be overcome by the dawn.

How little we know of what there is to know. I wish that I were going to live a long time instead of going to die today because I have learned much about life in these four days; more, I think than in all other time. I'd like to be an old man to really know. I wonder if you keep on learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can understand. I thought I knew so many things that I know nothing of. I wish there was more time.

We can rest contentedly in our sins and in our stupidities, and anyone who has watched gluttons shoveling down the most exquisite foods as if they did not know what they were eating will admit that we can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
