Hope has no antonyms. It is interesting that hopefulness and hopelessness are opposites of each other but not hope. Hope knows no enemies. Hope knows no antagonisms. I should not say I have hope. Since if I have it today, I can loose it tomorrow. I should say, I am hope. Hope for people who cannot be hope for themselves for numerous reasons.
Today I am a failure. A failure but still what I call a defined failure. A sort of what is within the Acknowledging scope of the society. I am not a Dalit. I am not a woman working 24*7 in q kitchen as a housewife not getting her share of division of labour. I am not what I call an undefined failure. Society doesn't even recognize them as failure since it is not their personal failure. It is reflective of the failures of the society itself. They made the game so rigged that some of us are not even allowed to be failures, forget winners.
In this sense, I consider myself nothing today. Sort of greater than "less than nothing". And I have scope of becoming something. I desire nothing. But still, It moves me. Since uplifting others is culture and uplifting yourself is nature and all too less, uplifting no one is like being a vulture.
I claim, now bigger ambitions. I claim on, one day, becoming the prime minister of this country. Today, I stand nothing. But tomorrow, who knows. Since, I am an allowed failure of the society. I can be allowed success in future.
