Hope
July 25th, 2022 by G.
If faith is what you still believe when you can’t see it, is hope only for when things seem hopeless?
Hope isn’t the same as optimism. Optimism is a belief that the probable outcomes are going to turn in your favor. It is like a very mild form of Napoleonic belief in one’s own star.
Hope is knowing there are miracles.

“Who against hope believed in hope.” That was Abraham or someone. That’s what I think of: hope is ALWAYS “against all odds.” It’s irrational. It’s for when the hour is darkest and there’s no light in sight. Hope fascinated me (and is a virtue I’m trying to develop).
