There's one quote in Jin that the producer intentionally emphasized:
God does not give you obstacles that cannot be overcome.
I don't believe in God. And I am not optimistic to the point that I believe nothing is impossible. I believe there ARE things that some people just cannot accomplish. But I tried to use doublethink to look at this quote from Jin. And it evokes some kind of special power in me. It doesn't matter that I don't believe in God. It doesn't matter that I knew there are difficulties that cannot be overcome. What matters is that these words give me HOPE at the MOMENT that I am in the obstacle. I think when you encounter something truly difficult, you need the kind of force that this quote gives to keep you moving. At that moment of hardship, I believe in God. And I believe in hope. Because I know that if I don't, I would have no hope, and what is waiting ahead of me will be 100% a dead-end. There is no point of life at dead-ends. Moving on--trying--is all we can do. So at the moment of difficulty, I choose to believe that "God does not give you obstacles that cannot be overcome."
