“There is hope as long as we live.” Some people think that losing something in life is the end of everything. But, to lose something and to experience pain is natural. Some may think that this is a punishment, but in reality it can mold our being as an individual and even make us stronger than before. In the novel “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green, Hazel accepted the death of Augustus. This shows hope despite the loss of her love. She proved to us that the loss of one is not the loss of everything.
Typhoon Yolanda became a part of every Filipino’s life particularly those who live in Visayas. Many schools were destroyed and everyone, including the teachers, thought that it will be the reason why the children in Visayas region will stop their education. But the students believed that there is still hope after the tragedy. This line from the article “Childhood a Victim in ‘Yolanda’ disaster” written by Salcedo a student who was interviewed told him “We are ready to hold classes outside, even under trees.” (13) implies that there are no hopeless things. Even if they lost their schools, it doesn’t mean that their education and their future should end.
According to Arun Gogna, a journalist, a student came to him sobbing and told him about her break-up with her boyfriend then she screamed and said “I wish the world would end now!” (9). Some people have closed minds. They often secure themselves only to people they know, in this case to her boyfriend. They don’t open themselves to other people, people around them that might be better than her boyfriend. Furthermore, we are in a big world. We shouldn’t close ourselves to little things; rather we should explore the world, make memories and always remember that when a door closes, another door opens.
Each and every one of us attains hope. It is up to us whether or not we will use it. Every time a negative thing happens we should not dwell on it rather believe that it happened for a reason and that best things are yet to come. God made our fate so we should believe that all the negative and positive things around us are parts of our cycle as a person. If not, our emotional, physical, and spiritual selves will be ruined and our fate and faith will be affected.
