Post 8: "This I Believe" Ideas

I believe in dreams.

I believe in hope. Recently I watched the movie, "The Pianist." Szpilman, the main character in the movie, nearly averted death multiple times. It's interesting that I should bring up such a depressing movie where seemingly everything goes wrong to talk about hope. The matter of fact is that it was only when there was no hope: when Szpilman's entire family gets sent to a concentration camp, and when he ran out of food and water for days at a time where his hope; his vindiction to live shined through the darkness. I complain about getting that bad math grade, or about not getting that present which I really wanted for Christmas. It was humbling to see someone who had nothing not complain about what he did not have, but rather appreciated everything which was given to him.

"Perhaps they're lucky. The quicker the better." -I'll write a reflection on that quote from "The Pianist" later.

Any suggestions or comments are much appreciated!
