The place to look for hope is deep inside of us

Nadu treba tražiti u dubini vlastitog bića. U nekim stvarima se ne smijemo oslanjati na druge. Svatko od nas je odgovaran za sebe. Nada ne ovisi o vanjskim okolnostima, ona nas može pratiti i u najmračnijim vremenima i kada smo posve sami. No, moramo nadi otvoriti vrata, moramo je pozvati u svoj život da bismo je mogli naći u srcu i duši. Moramo shvatiti da nada ne mora uvijek imati smisla. Ponekad se osjećaj nade pojavljuje u najapsurdnijim tradegijama, ali možda je to zbog toga što nam je tada najviše potreban.  Logika je ipak samo početak mudrosti, a racionalnim ne bismo nikad trebali gušiti nadu. Nadi je potreban zrak, a taj zrak je tiho povjerenje, slično onom koje postoji između starih prijatelja koji se razumiju bez riječi.

We should look for hope within the dept of our own being. When it comes to certain things, it is better not to lean on others. Each and every one of us is responsible for ourselves. Hope doesn't depend on circumstances and facts of life. We can be accompanied by hope even in the darkest times and the most lonely hours of our life. However, we must invite hope into our lives to be able to find it in our heart and soul. We must accept that hope will not always make sense. Sometimes the feeling of hope appears in the most absurd of tragedies, but that may be because that is when we need it the most.  Logic is only the beginning of wisdom.  Rationalism should never suffocate hope. Hope needs air to breathe and that air is in fact a silent trust, the kind of trust that exists between old friends who can understand one another without uttering a single word.
