Hope
“A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen”
This is the dictionary’s definition of hope and it’s a good one. Everyone hopes to be rich or hopes to fall in love. Hope is all about wanting and needing. This is indisputable. I like to look at hope in a different way than Webster does however. To understand how I see hope, you have to look to Frank Darabont’s 1994 tour de force, The Shawshank Redemption.
This scene from one of the greatest movies of all time perfectly explains the thesis of this article.
