Reflection
Hope
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.
— Desmond Tutu
आशा अंधेरे के बावजूद यह देख पाने में सक्षम होना है कि प्रकाश है।
— डेसमंड टुटू
Why this matters:
True hope isn’t the absence of darkness, but the conviction that light exists even when it’s hidden.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
सच्ची आशा अंधेरे की अनुपस्थिति नहीं है, बल्कि यह विश्वास है कि प्रकाश मौजूद है भले ही वह छिपा हुआ हो।
