Conversations Between Ben and Har(ry)

Stars.

Date: 19/8/17

Harry: hey Ben, what're you doing?
Ben: hm? Oh just gazing... The stars are magical aren't they
Harry: *sits down beside ben* okay, tell me, why did you really brought us down here to the cabin in the woods that apparently your uncle owned?
Ben: ... I was stressed. We both are. The finals are coming up soon...
Harry: but that's not the only reason is it?
Ben: no... I just felt like... I needed to seek out hope. Having you here keeps company which helps a lot.
Harry: hope? For what?
Ben: I've been through a lot before we became house mates. I just didn't have time to deal with it... When you came up it seems like my time has widen and my thoughts caught up..
Harry: ... Woah, I feel sort of .. Flattered..
Ben: maybe you should. Funny isn't it? Hope is all we have, all we ever need. We depend so much on hope, we don't even realise it. We always say 'I hope that you get better' or 'I hope you'll pass your exams' because we are never sure if it's going to happen or not. Even when we believe in something, we can just hope that we are choosing the right path. Hope. Hoping is the constant thing that we have been doing since birth. We hope that our mother will stay by us, to feed us. We hope that our father has enough knowledge and privilege to educate us. We hope for the better of our lives. We hope, because we can't be wrong. Humans are afraid to be wrong. So they hope. They pray that what they're doing is right. They can never be sure but they have hope. And it's the biggest power one can have.
Harry: if you're saying all that.... what would happen to someone if they lost their hope or they don't have any?
Ben: .... Then I'm afraid, they will lose their paths. No proper aim of living. We depend so much on hope it terrifies some people. Hope is what keeps us going. And it will fuel is until we die. When a car doesn't have any fuel, it will move no farther. If humans don't have any hope, they will lose nothing. They will not live nor will they die. They will stay in the same position until they either gain hope or die. Just imagine, our beliefs in gods and goddesses, our beliefs in angels and Devils, lords and saviours, Gods. We just have the biggest hope of them, we hope so much that what we believe in will set our path, protect us and live out our lives. What if I told you that it could be that all the gods are the same? All belief are the same? But with only in different perspectives? You would hope that it would not be true because it will defy your principal. Of course, I am not saying that it is but if you hope for it, then maybe it is. Hope is the biggest power a human has. And it's time for me to search a new one...
Harry: .... Woah.. Ben..
Ben: I apologise if you feel attacked in any way hearing me talk.. You could go inside if you want to, I'll just stay here for a while.
Harry: nah, rather than you over thinking about stuff, I'd rather stay here with you. That is, if you don't mind.
Ben: I don't. Stay as long as you want. Besides, I brought you here..
Harry: yep. So while you have the mind set to think about searching for new hope, lets talk about how magical the star is.
Ben: do you know anything about stars and galaxies?
Harry: stars? Yes. Galaxies? Not so much. I'm smarter than you think I am, Ben. Stars are basically flaming balls of gasses that are really far away from our solar system. They appear to tinkle because they shine so bright. People used to make constellations out of the stars.......

And so they continued talking under the blanket of universe, moon shining upon them until the light of dusk rolled in.
