My Initiation - Hope

I don't know what's so special about today to start my blog.... but today I feel immensely inspired and feel that I shouldn't waste a minute before I start off with this act that I've kept putting off for later for just too long.
I just watched the movie Shawshank Redemption.... finally. My friend Suraj always kept telling me about this movie. He was even sweet enought to write me a DVD with the movie. But it took me like almost 2 months for me to actually sit down and watch this movie. Man... what a movie.
The messages, the theme, the whole concept is amazing. Nothing too complicated beyond ones understanding. A wonderful story about friendship, patience and especially hope. How important hope is in ones life for one to keep on living.
My favorite quote in the movie is "Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."
Having hope in life and in the future has always kept me going. I wouldn't imagine a life where I could think nothin good is gonna happen. This movie just helped me remember and reinstate my beleif in hope. Never stop hoping. Because thats when you will stop living.
