Chester- I don't think people are saying to give up hope entirely.  I think
the danger comes from people who only live for this "future" as you said may
not happen in our lifetime.  The problem with that is while waiting for this
dream, many people don't deal with making a life for themselves today.  -
Besides, even people who accept their circumstances (I believe) still have
hope in their hearts, but it doesn't rule their entire lives.  - Take Care:
