Reflection on Hope
What is the source of Hope? Do we create it ourselves?
“Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism.
It is not the conviction that something will turn
out well, but the certainty that something makes
sense, regardless of how it turns out.”
Quotation from Václav Havel, Disturbing the Peace

This is a very deep one Sera… I honestly don’t know what to answer… But I think that *we* create our hopes, when we need them…

Great Havel quote. And so true - hope is an inner quality, like inspiration. Optimism is belief that something will turn out better than worse - sometimes there is evidence, often not. Hey, we all die in the end. But is hope extinguished from that knowledge? Not for some.

Eidur, Kalai. “We” create our hope, when we need it.
Gary. Hope is optimism.
L.Reis. Hope is an internal private tool.
Thank you Tyan, Carolina, & Rags.

Hugs to you all.

We’ve talked about hope before. Havel’s quotation sums up my view perfectly. And perhaps we do create our own hope. Thanks for a great show yesterday!

Hugs Marin. Yes, we have talked hope before.
It’s a testament to the human spirit, to go on even
with a broken heart or shattered dream. Hope is
what heals us, one small thing, one step at a time.
The heart uncrumples and keeps going…
