if you have breath , there is hope. despair is there to rob one of hope , and when that happens you truly have nothing. don't let despair take root , it is part of life , no one looks forward to the trials that come our way.... life is not fair its just life... for those facing a new hurricane threat, there is time to get ready , you have seen what they bring.... if after all this and all your material things are gone , it will be hard . but there is hope , you have your family ,friends , a new chance , you have life.... I have not personally met snake bitten , but from all I have read and from those that have met the snake , he is well liked and respected . a man who gives up , a man who quits , a man who lives in despair , that man no one respects.... and that is not snake bitten... from the bits and pieces from reading these post we see a man who has had a lot and has given a lot , but he keeps on going . trials are painful in what ever form they come in , but they don't last forever . if they do its because one has given up on hope .... other than the ones we love its all just stuff. thanks for being the man you are snake bitten , you may be the example that some one on the verge of despair might see and take hope that all is not lost. thanks.
