It's a quote from Nechi that I relate too
Hope hurts when life ends up a string of material, emotional and phyisical losses. It's that hope comes so easy for me. No matter what life brings it seems it all ends up in losses as I look behind me. My life has so much evidence of failure, that If I only saw failure in myself, it would be hard to argue this point with the facts and figures from what I see over my shoulder. I'm 48, even if I turn mylife around now, with life 2/3's gone by, I'd have to win a karmic lottery to finish life as a success.
I've choisen not to see myself as a failure regaurdless of my losses. I have more hope now then ever and I feel less in common with hope doing nothing but extending my surrering.
It's what my theripist has shown me in his RET therapy. I no longer weighed down by every failure in my life adding up to me becoming even more worthlees apon my next failure.
