Experiencing Interruptions?

Hopes in the Sea

Try closing your eyes for a moment.
Imagine yourself with nothing. Without a home, without a car, without money, without food.
Imagine living in a country where your sister, wife, daughter are raped. Imagine yourself in a country where bombs are a deafening background sound.
Now open your eyes and tell me if you have imagined that you have at least one thing: the hope.
