A certain king led his army to a distant and dangerous battlefield.
There was a king who was going to lead his army to fight in a distant and dangerous place.
The king divided all his possessions among the families of those who were leaving with him.
Before leaving, the king gave all his property to the families of the soldiers with whom he was fighting.
If the expedition failed, the king and his royal family would lose all their property.
At this time, one of his subordinates feared that if the expedition failed, the royal family would have nothing.
What on earth have you left for yourselves, O king?
Then he said to the king, "What hast thou left for thyself, O king?
The king replied." I have left high hopes."
The king replied, "I have left myself with hope."
It is said that a person can live about 40 days without food, 3 days without water, and 8 minutes without air.
Humans can live about 40 days without eating, 3 days without water, and 8 minutes without air.
But you can't live a single moment without hope.
But if there is no hope, you can't live for a second.
It tells the story of Alexander the Great of Macedon, who wanted to give up everything and instead keep hope.
This man was King Alexander of the Republic of Macedonia.
What hope is there in your heart?
What hope do you have in your heart?
If there is no hope, even if you eat every day, you will only starve yourself slowly.
People who have lost hope are nothing but the walking dead.
Without hope, even if you eat everyday, you are dying slowly. --Pearl Sydenstricker Buck.
