Recommended for those who believe in helping someone, but struggling with difficulties.
Take those fictional names as metaphors, and it could mean something hopeful for anyone who's in despair.
*SPOILER ALERT for 'X-Men : Days of Future Past'*
“Charles.”
“Charles.”
“So this is what becomes of us. Eric was right. Humanity does this to us.”
“Not if we show them a better path.”
“You still believe?”
“Just because someone stumbles, loses their way, it doesn’t mean they’re lost forever. Sometimes we all need a little help.”
“I’m not the man I was. I open my mind, it almost overwhelms me.”
“You’re afraid. And Cerebro knows it”
“All those voices, so much pain.”
“It’s not their pain you’re afraid of. It’s yours, Charles. And as frightening as it may be, that pain will make you stronger. If you allow yourself to feel it, embrace it, it will make you more powerful than you ever imagined. It’s the greatest gift we have to bear their pain without breaking. And it’s born from the most Human power : Hope.
Please, Charles, we need you to hope again.”
- From X-Men Days of Future Past
“It’s easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today. But there will be dark days ahead of us too. There will be days you feel all alone. And that’s when hope is needed most. No matter how berried it gets, or how lost you feel, you must promise me that you will hold on to hope.
Keep it alive. We have to be greater than what we suffer.
My wish for you is to become hope. People need that.
And even if we fail, what better way is there to live?”
-From The Amazing Spider-Man 2
