word...Dukat said:Hope.
Without it, all lose the will to live.
I have lived without hope before, even though it was only for a short while, I did more or less lose the will to live, the only thing that kept me from doing something silly was the thought of what my family might go through if I did.
Anyone can live without worldly posessions, without limbs and even without loved ones in some of cases, but without hope I do not think many, if any at all, could carry on living, atleast by any standards that we here would term "living".
