Being forced here to single out the meaning of the word "hope" has made me realize that actually I regret using it for the sentence from which its clickability may have sent you and which prompted my starting of working on this page and the present writing of these words. The sentence was "I hope you enjoy my website." Reading that sentence back to myself now I am disgusted at my own pigheadedness and lack of tact and just general dummy dummy attutude. Hope is such a passive position to take! "Hopefully something good happens while I sit here and do nothing." Disgusting pigheaded tactless dumdum! I know deep in my heart that I must work hard to enact my will upon this world if I want to see results. Perhaps another phrase would have been more apt. "I will make you enjoy my website." That seems a bit threatening in what I am here rather attempting to cultivate into a relaxed and welcoming environment of learning and knowledge (albeit one that deals in whimsy instead of fact). "I have faith that you will enjoy my website." I quite like that one I think. Faith rather than hope connotates a more active role. It requires the giving of oneself whole soul into a thing (usually God), and the word seems to imply that everything will be okay in the end after this pivitol exchange of powers between the individual and the desired outcome. Unfortunately the page is already written out so I can't go back and change it. I could add it to the index page but as it stands I like the positioning of the words as they are on the page right now.
