Good Friday, A waking Dream

Today's Good Friday, a day where Christians rejoice over the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Although I am not a Christian but I still admire Jesus's perseverance and his ever lasting hope. Having hope can mean a lot of things. Hope can be a pain-killer for despair, hope can be a shining light to an endless abyss, hope can be a rope stretched into the deserted well. Lastly hope can be a new start, a waking dream. yes we dream to have a start, we dream to awaken our thoughts and we dream to open our eyes. Hope is a gift to us, a gift that we must cherish for it lets us dream about a better condition and soon enough it might awaken the dream of us being treated better. No matter how dire the state seems like never give up dreaming a better state, never give up. Even though it seems like there are no longer anything left for you to salvage, never give up hoping, never give up dreaming. In One Piece, a manga drawn by Oda Eiichiro, features a little child who was a cook got stranded in an island with only a small stack of food given by another old man that got stranded with him. The old man had a bag of stuff three times bigger than that of the bag that he had given to the little kid called Sanji. Sanji was furious at how the difference in provisions were being given out, as there are no other way of obtaining food on this island and the only food left was in the bag. Sanji fought for 50 days, with a very little amount of food that was only worth a weeks. Then he went to the other side of the island to find the old man as he could not take it anymore. He then saw that the huge bag was still there so he went and open the bag but then he realized that inside were only treasures, treasures that could not feed a human at all. In this period of 50 days he realised that the old man was not given any provisions. Sanji then realized that the old man had given all the food to him, himself living with food and water from the puddles was even better off than the old man. Then he saw that the old man actually cut off one of his legs in order to make it food for him to survive. Sanji cried and asked the old man  why did he try to save him, and the old man said, "because you and I, share the same dream" Their dream was to find an ocean called All blue, an ocean where it contains all the fishes in the world, a paradise for cooks, but it was laughed upon as it was thought to be a rumor only, but they still chased the dream,  chased the rumor. With that dream they survived for another 35 days together without food with that dream. So please dream and hope for the best, dream no mater how unreal or joked upon the dream is, chase it and you will soar.
