Entry 19: Nectar in a Sieve

“Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve,

And hope without an object cannot live.”

      The epigraph gives me an impression that the main character is going to suffer over losing hope or having only hope and nothing else. Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, you can get some of the valuable nectar especially when you work really hard for it, but it will not stay. If all you have left is hope, it is meanness too. All you have is hope, but what does the hope do if you have nothing to hope for? What does the hope do if you are only hoping and dreaming it instead of working for it?  

       To me, the least thing I would ever want to do is having regrets. You never know if you can make up for that regret, even if you think you have that chance, the future is uncertain, nothing is. This sort of explains why I am more of an outgoing person, and trying new things, I don’t want to let my fears be my reason to regret. This is life, you only have it once, so don’t leave it blank. Life without hope is meaningless, that is probably the biggest blank you can make in THE life. Hope without work is meaningless, hope does nothing if no actions are taken because of that hope. So life, hope, and work are link together, losing one will drop other’s value.
