Letters to Mr. Hanx are imaginary but a kind of personal narrative. It’s about ups and downs. It’s about contemplation, inquiry, and relief in life. It comes from time to time. Not Scheduled and not planned. It just happen. I write these letters with an app called Hanx writer. When first time I started to write with this app I just typed: “Dear Mr. Hanx” and after that I continioued. I know, Tom Hanks write his name Hanx. The app also comes from him.

Dear Mr. Hanx,

I’ve tried too much in life. Sometimes I think I’m the most hopeless person in the world. Then, I need to take care of myself.

You know Mr. Hanx, nowadays life becomes complicated. It’s not like before. I think people from the older eras also thought like this. I bet they thought life before them was much simpler and easier than their age.

This is the nature of humans. All of us try in our lifetime to overcome our current challenges. We succeed and find innovative solutions and at the same time, we create bigger problems. Then we think life in the older days was simpler.

Yes, Mr. Hanx! Life is too complicated. I become hopeless and I have no way to do the next important thing in my life.

It’s better to say that I don’t believe in hope. Not hopefulness nor hopelessness. There’s no hope. Hope is the seed for suffering. At last, we need to get up the next morning and do what we are up to. We need to keep our dreams.

Have a good day,

A.
