" I cannot tell what the future will bring to a man. Life must be lived in hoping and anticipating, unaware of what expects us. If a man is made conscious of the fact that suffering has no end, that happy days we dream of will never come, how can he bear burdens? A man must be able to dream that his fancies and fantasies will be materialized some day. Without hopeful expectations you can not endure hardships that flesh is heir to. On the other hand, a success that comes unexpectedly from above out of the blue would have no value. If one is convinced that joys and happiness he is experiencing now will continue for ever, how can he appreciate them unless it occurs to him that he may lose it any moment? A life whose end is known beforehand will be but a tale. One of your tales, you are a man with a tale and like every tale the end will be happy. "
