The Only Thing We Really Have In This Life

As I have gotten older, I have realized that the only thing we really have in this life is hope because...
...Money comes and goes
...Job titles come and go
...Beauty fades
...Friendships come and go
...Diseases eventually weaken even the healthiest of us all
...Loved ones are born and loved ones die
...Everything changes, eventually, if not constantly

I hope that...
...there is truly life after death
...people will one day recognize that value and worth of even the least among us
...we are not merely "cosmic accidents" or "smart monkeys"
...there is a point to this thing we call life
