One lesson that life teaches as we grow older is that both our fears and our hopes are mostly illusions and are not to be taken too seriously. ..... We should have hope and optimism, for these attributes are essential to a constructive, happy life with peace of mind; but we must remember that our hopes and fears are often illusions promising to change our way of life but leving us exactly as we were before.
