Hope

Today's Thought is an image from the fifth and final season of Fringe. If you are unfamiliar, in this season the (future) world has been taken over by the totalitarian government of the Observers. These men are characterized by their hats and suit-and-tie dress. The poster in the background of this picture is a symbol of the Resistance. It is a symbol of hope for all the human inhabitants of Earth.

Today I was able to hear a phrase from the National FFA Creed: "in the promise of better days through better ways". You see it's this whole idea of hope that keeps us going. While we may not be oppressed by a dictatorial government, we too hold on to hope of better days ahead by doing our best in the present day. It's the American Dream. If I work hard today and play square with those around me, I can reasonably expect that my efforts today will be rewarded tomorrow. Will you provide hope? Will you do your best to ensure a bright future?
