Hope or delusion?

(A “Notes to Self” Series)

Quote for Wednesday, 27 February 2019

“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.”

― Albert Einstein

I’ve already had a long article about my name, specifically on it being the Spanish translation of the English word hope. With that alone, I could readily say that I’ve got enough reason to call this blog as it is now and write similarly themed articles. Right?

Not totally. If taken on a more holistic perspective, I should be the last person who should be doing this at all. Why?

It’s a long story. I’ve actually written the tip of the iceberg story, but I ended up producing a highly-controversial piece. My husband had been convinced that I’ve got the makings of a novel with that version, but I guess there’s ample wisdom in his advice that I’d just write the ideas down for my long-delayed planned book. Now, I’m giving you a reason to look forward to my piece, am I not?

So, what’s the overall point of this blog today?

Nothing really.

Everything is absurd, and I’m letting it be. I won’t even try to justify or provide a fitting ending to this article because I don’t have anything better to say that should be written for everyone to know at this point. Once I’ve finally found one, I’d let you know. Mr Einstein is widely recognised as a great person whose train of thoughts had been immortalised in school textbooks and the various halls of fame we’ve got in our mundane world. I think I’d look forward to seeing what would eventually come to be out of this entire absurdity that I’ve just plunged myself into.

Would you care to share something that would help point me in the right direction today? I’m interested to know your thoughts.
