Yesterday william Bonilla posted "What About Hope?" in which he extensively elaborated the closeness of three mystery words: HOPE WISH AND DESIRE. I thought it was worth taking it as a challenge at the DEN to see how every one will contribute in clearly defining where they can best fit in the ordinary word usage.
HOPE WISH and DESIRE
Belong to the same family
They are three good sisters
HOPE is the eldest sister
WISH and DESIRE are twins
Fear is a common enemy they have
WISH and DESIRE come from within
With a slight change in your mind
You can stop to wish this or desire that
But HOPE is different from its sisters
In it there is a grain of conditionality
Another being or divine power is involved
You may have a WISH to travel next week
It could be your desire to drive high speed
But the HOPE that it should not rain
Is in the hands of the Almighty Lord
Between FEAR and HOPE we run our lives
FEAR of being deviated from the right path
And the Hope that God will forgive us
