"Greater Marvels Yet To Be"

A poem by Walt Whitman says: "Oh, to be alive in such an age, when miracles are everywhere, and every inch of common air throbs a tremendous prophecy, of greater marvels yet to be." These verses were written over a hundred yeas ago, but their message can be beneficial now, as it could have been, or could be, in any other age. No matter what period of time human beings are living in, they always have to face problems, discord, disappointment, pain. This is how the world seems to function and it's a truth that must be accepted. Yet, in any given moment, a word is always there that asks to be acknowledged: Hope. You cannot see it because hope is not a tangible thing. But you can allow it in your 'self' at any time, in spite of circumstances, and keep it for as long as you choose to. Everybody wishes to believe that good things are yet to come, and that positive events can still be witnessed. As long as hope and trust in the future persist, nothing is ever lost.
