The Fault in our Stars

“We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.” ~Franklin D. Roosevelt Belief, Hope, Conviction sound dandy but they’re all just a bunch of crock! Believing that I am a bird and jumping from atop a mountain hoping to blissfully fly away is simply not gonna happen. First, I have to grow wings! In between ‘believing’ and ‘hoping’ you have to have luck, talent, opportunity, persistency, personality and timing. Millions in Ukraine believed in and hoped for a better future, Yet, it took just one Crackpot to blow their hopes to smithereens. The above quote is purely cosmetic. The fault, my dear, is in our stars!
