Hope kills

Ce qui tue c'est l'espoire
et tandis qu'ils en meurent
combien on voit des gens
qui disent qu'ils en vivent
-Anonyme

And my translation for our english speaking friends...

Hope kills
and while it is slaying them
how many say it is keeeping them
alive

But isn't that the best way to die?

I don't see why hope kills. Even in death there is hope for a second life.

hoping when there's no place for hope: the other face of suffering, the dangerously sweet one.

Fouad
It is the best way to die, but not to live

Sh
It kills because it keeps you believening in something that is no more, keep you suffering beyond pain...

Eve
In which one can drown forever...
a tempting solution

Never say never!
