What's this "Hope" you speak of?

"While there’s life, there’s hope."
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What a quote.
So often I've wondered how people cope with such a sense of hopelessness about them. How do they manage to get up in the morning? How do they keep putting on your false pretenses, acting like they're okay? How?

I don't understand how one could handle the deaths of loved ones, without any hope. It just does not add up. How could I possibly survive such extreme measures of pain? I don't think I could.

That's why I love that quote at the top so much... It speaks of the choice we have as people; the choice to live in hope or live in the darkness that life can bring. It becomes so easy to just accept the ways of hopelessness.. Too easy. And when things get hard, it's so simple to just give up. But I know I will always hope. I know I will always have faith that tomorrow will bring a better day, even if I'm completely broken on the inside. I choose to live in hope because I hope in something I truly believe in.
Something I will forever live for.
