Hope is All We Need

Hope is the one thing people in the world desire to possess in abundance. In a world where so many things are going on and people tend to lose grip on the turn of events, everyone turns their  attention to finding hope as an inspiration to keep living. The Gatsby story and the Lance Armstrong story are both embedded in the well of lies yet people still thrive on them as a source of inspiration. It sounds a little bit discouraging that in a world where we are constantly campaigning for peace and tranquility people will draw inspiration from such circumstances. A closer look at it shows that, no one is to blame as the innate human  desire for power will not hesitate to grab onto any ideas that seem to satisfy its dreams. Gatsby is a man our times  and the strong belief in ambiguity helps us to understand him and the events in our world today.

                          Just like the American Dream, people are very much aware that that not everyone can become rich or successful in life, but a deep introspection suggests that is not what motivates the human being. Instead the hope that you will one day make it is what instigates the human hormones to function effectively whenever daylight resumes. People just want to keep trying. People want to believe that it shall all be well one day. Perhaps that is what the American Dream was founded on and not the belief that the millions of people living in the country can all become successful if they work hard. It is a myth to keep the people at bay. It is an engineered hope that has done its bit in driving a nation up the power ranks. The American Dream has surely done an overly exceptional force in carrying the entire people in the nation and in the world on its wings.

                   Jay Gatsby just like the founding fathers of America, did away with his ancestors and took charge of his own future. This is what drives the millions of people in the world who donot have the access to old money and yet desire the pleasantries it comes with. They just want hope, something to drive them and any story in this nature regardless of its background can surely cater for this desire.

                   With Lance Armstrong’s life in perspective, it is obvious that the people who still believe in his success do not want to do away with the hope they derived from his story. The ability to work hard and be successful is what people want to believe in. it might be right to say at this point that, most people don’t care about Jay Gatsby and Lance Armstrong’s personalities as much as the hope they desire from their lives. The world is filled with many golddiggers walking around looking for avenues to draw hope and anyone or anything which shows the potential of doing this job becomes a prey. Most people don’t care about how Lance Armstrong or Jay Gatsby became rich, all they care to know is they were once down and at one point they were up. There are different points of view in this world and the ability to dissect  a story into its  basic provides the ability to embrace what it truly offers.
