Always we hope
Someone else has the answer.
Some other place will be better,
It will all turn out.
This is it.
No one else has the answer.
No other place will be better,
And it has already turned out.
- Lao-Tzu


A Riposte

Yes you are right.
I do like it.
It resonates with some deep understanding
inside of me.

Yes I do like it;
as much as the absence of Hope for a better world
- a better life
chills my bones.
