1. I hope for what I love. So, this is already reached in one goal.
   The challenging part is also to do it.
   I see they talk about “something” and not “someone” to love. Was something left out?

   1. Agreed, and other versions do have someone instead of something … ultimately do we need relationships to be happy ? … many would say yes, some would say no …

      1. I think we definitely do need relationships. Good ones.

5. This kind of reminds me of reaching christ conscious. The general idea that when you do, you’ve reached a state of enlightenment, of joy (happiness). This quote kind of highlights the three “something’s” one would need to reach (amongst other things like inner harmony, of course).

   1. You’re on the right track with that … it’s interesting that (almost) all religions have a path to enlightenment 😀

8. something to do, I will do what I have been doing, minus many I thought were my friends.
   something to love, I will always love those for whom there is love in my heart, that doesn’t change.
   something to hope for, I hope for a cure for this Hydro, I hope for the best for all of you, I hope for a book deal, regardless of with what company, I hope for world peace, I know it will come someday.
