MAN NEEDS HOPE. [PART 1]

As the world grows darker,I've been forcing myself to think about hope. I watch as the world and the people around me experience increased grief and suffering. As aggression and violence move into all relationships,personal and global. As decisions are made from insecurity and fear. How is it possible to feel hopeful,to forward to a more positive future? I don't ask this question calmly. I am struggling to understand how i might contribute to restore hope to the future. Hope is a word on our lips It is more than "i want this to happen" or "i wish this would happen". Hope is your imagination.
Vaclev Havel states,"hope is a dimension of the soul...an orientation of the spirit,an orientation of the heart. It transcends the world that is immediately experienced and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense regardless of how it turns out."  That was just Vaclev Havel,different people define hope in different ways. Emily Dickinson say"hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all..." "Hope is the beacon which points to prosperity" Edward Counsel. I was moved by G.K Chesterton definition where he describes hope as..."the power of being cheerful in circumstances which we know to be desperate."
