There was once a man trapped in a dark cavern. He had been there for days on end and vowed to look for an exit. He crept ever forward, bumping into pillars, hitting rocks…hurting himself with every step he took. Despite all the pain, he decided to move ever forward for one day he would surely find his way out. And as he held to this thought, he moved ever so forward till his legs stepped on nothing. His body tumbled down a dark hole. His bones smashed as he hit the walls and when he fell head first to the ground, his head caved in.
And there lay a man, killed by his own hope.
