"希望是记忆给予我们的礼物"
— Walter Benjamin
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, looking back on good memories from our past can give us a feeling of hope for the future. Imagine you did really well in a school play when you were younger. Remembering how you felt proud and happy then can make you believe you can do well in future plays or other activities too. Think of hope as a light in the dark. When things are tough, remembering times when you overcame similar struggles can help you believe you will get through hard times again. For instance, if you learned to ride a bike after many tries, you might remember that experience and have hope that you can learn new things even if they seem hard at first. This memory acts like a gift, lifting your spirits and helping you look forward. By reflecting on positive past experiences, we tap into a sense of hope that can motivate us to keep moving forward and face new challenges with a positive outlook.
