The will to survive and the hope of continuing onward to something else has been a huge part of human interest pieces on disasters and their survivors. However, I am curious as to how much "hope" these men really had. Or if they just clung to whatever they could in hopes that they would, one day, make it out of the situation alive. I am curious as to what other people think about this notion of "hope" giving someone the will to survive. How long do you think you could keep that "ray of hope" alive? And, as morbid as it may seem, how dreary does it have to be to lose this hope? Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480461600865380028noreply@blogger.com
