Hope

On a second thought, not all waiting is a waste.

We wait in vain if, and only if, there is nothing to hope for. In fact, many of the best hours in our life are the time that we are expecting something good to happen, not when that good thing is happening.

In the latter case, the stone falls down from the hill, and we King Sisyphus do not feel happy - we've got to search for something else to exert ourselves again.

As Count Monte Cristo said: All human wisdom is contained in these two words - Wait and Hope.

Yes. If we have to keep the others waiting, give them some hope.

PS. Again, once we eat the apple of wisdom, open our eyes and see through the nature of what we're waiting and hoping for, we have to leave Eden forever.
