Even so.

I hope that your small things will be enough to bear the larger.

[fuga]

like an ant.

Mm - who moves mountains ... in time.

text

[fuga]

a long time.
but i have time.

text

[bythewaves]

May it not take as long as forever.

text

[fuga]

perhaps not.
but i have as long as that.

text

[bythewaves]

Oh? An immortal, then?

But having forever does not mean one wishes to take that long, eh?

text

[fuga]

no.
it means one simply expects it.

text

[bythewaves]

Perhaps! But one can also hope for more.

text

[fuga]

as though hope is easy?

text

[bythewaves]

If it was, would it be truly hope?

text

[fuga]

perhaps not.
hope is easy for some.

text

[bythewaves]

I sometimes wonder if that is true, or if they only think that it is.

text

[fuga]

you think the mind tricks you?

text

[bythewaves]

You might say so. Or perhaps we wish to believe it.

text

[fuga]

it is easier to believe in things other than hope at times.

Text

[bythewaves]

And yet, without Hope, is life truly livable?

text

[fuga]

there are many that would say so.

text

[bythewaves]

I wonder if those who say have done so, in truth. For existence is a bleak one, with no hope at all.

text

[fuga]

it may well be bleak, but at least it is an existance.

Speaking from experience, I cannot say there is much to recommend it.

text

[fuga]

speaking from experience, there are worse things.

text

[bythewaves]

True. But very few, and despair can be a potent weapon.

text

[fuga]

only if you allow it to be used against you.

text

[bythewaves]

But to oppose despair does not one need hope?
