Hope is surprisingly difficult to define and may be expressed in many ways. Overall, I feel that a good definition for hope would be that it is an optimistic and expectant desire that emerges from a stressor. It is a coping mechanism deeply rooted in motivation.

The emotion first radiated from the centre, singer Joan Baez, to listeners, then every person began to sing, gradually everyone immersed into the environment, continuously effecting people around you, making the emotion even stronger, meanwhile letting more and more outsiders joined in. Nobody at the scene could ignore its appealing power, ignore the change were happening.

The word hope is often used in moments of despair, more precisely to lift people out of those moments. For so many, hope is the light at the end of the tunnel, in the moments when it is hard to get back up it is often this ambiguous term that helps them get up. Of course, all words take on several meanings, and there are always different ways someone can interpret a word. However, according to the Oxford Online Dictionary hope is “a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen”(Oxford Dictionaries).
