“Hope is not a question of personal philosophy. In the face of uncertainty, operating from a stance of hope is a strategic and practical response. It is a way of approaching the world. As environmental writer Professor David Orr said of it, “Hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up.”” ~~ Paul Gilding
The Angels say that HOPE is what keeps people moving forward. They see it all the time. When people are in dire circumstances, it is hope that allows these people to persevere and to get out of tough situations.
Hope, say the Angels, is not a gene. You are not born with it. It is something that you learn, or find. It is strength of spirit. Some say it is strength of will. It might even be an attitude. As Angels do not have will – they do not need it – and they do not require hope, Angels find the evolution of mankind’s hope to be one of the most interesting emotions that developed over time.
Although many writers over time have attributed hope to religious faith, the Angels say that there is not any correlation between religion and hope. Individuals who have never heard of many of the religions will exhibit hope. And, add the Angels, they are starting to see hope in many animals.
Hope is anticipation that the current situation will change and will be better for the person who is feeling hope. The Angels agree that “when there is a will, there is a way!” It seems that a strong call to action is another trait of people that feel hope. The Angels have wondered if it is the movement or action that inspires hope. Or, is it that hope causes action? They are not really all that clear on which comes first.

it's difficult to say, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteat the moment, i'd say that it is change that inspires hope..the want/need for change..inspires action..to move forward..within that movement..those baby steps..hope grows..until hope in itself, then..inspires the changes. it's cyclical :D
