              "So lying underneath those stormy skies, She'd say, "oh, oh-oh-oh-oh I know the sun must set to rise'"

              Hope is definitely a central Coldplay theme.  Here it is again.  I was just talking about hope to my friend.  I said that it is very important.  I realize that it is easy to say that hope is important during the good times.  However, it is not easy to say this during the bad times.  Hope is awesome.

              This quote reminds us that good follows bad.  Life is not easy.  We have to go though tough experiences to emerge stronger.  I guess you can compare life to the development of a diamond.  Diamonds form at instances of high temperature and pressure.  The same can be said of life.  Moments of anguish make you stronger and wise.  They add beauty to your personality in the form of traits such as, understanding, compassion, valor, and wisdom.  

              I have noticed this in my own life.  My negative experiences have made me a better person.  I am more resilient and wise.  I'm not saying that I am perfect.  No, I am still pressing on, I still make mistakes, and choose wrong directions.  Life still is not easy.  However, I realize the tough times and struggles refine me.  I realize the importance of hope and an open mindset.  

              Hope.  Keep moving forward.  "We are diamonds taking shape"...(Adventure of a Lifetime).  Any thoughts relating to this quote? Any stories? Can you relate? In three days, I will start a new discussion board. Thanks for reading.
