There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People want to feel hopeful.
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.
Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.
Hope is the feeling we have that the feeling we have is not permanent.
The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.
We actually believe in hope. But hope requires purpose. And purpose requires direction.
It's necessary to give birth to hope again.
I thought, if ever there were a time to write a book about hope, it's now.
I think by now I have made it fairly clear that I am not very happy with the word hope. I don't believe in people just hoping.
The point about hope is that it is something that occurs in very dark moments. It is like a flame in the darkness; it isn't like a confidence and a promise.
