They opened a new Amish school house in Pennsylvania the other day.

Hopeful is good.

I think.

Have you ever actually read about Pandora's box? Yes, she unleashed all of life's misery but did you know that Hope was the final thing in the box? It was also the only thing Pandora managed to trap.

Eventually, Hope escaped.

There are two ways to look at this, either:

• Hope is the one thing that counteracts all the crap life throws your way; OR
• Hope is the worst of all evils because when you're let down, well...I'm sure you've been let down before so, you know.

I always thought it was the former. In my late nights, I'm not sure. I think it may be the latter.

I would like it to be the former, but, then again, I would like a lot of things.
