And it slips through our fingers

Your post reminded me of a quote from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

"tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther....And one fine morning----- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

In this qoute hope is strongly expressed. That we never give up hoping for something better to come along although we are never able to reach it. We look to the future with hope that things will become great. Possibly as great as they used to be.
