"Hope is as hollow as fear"

[@piergiorgiopassera3976]

...or NOT...

[@strawngheld]

Well I think that you should reconsider the fact that many new strains of the cause that worsened 2020 are being created, and I don’t think that it will embrace 2021 with hope; But still, I wish to.

[@MrVleker]

That's what they said about 2020 lol

[@lemaxx2638]

Thanks darling. Same to you

[@Rank_SSS]

'I'm getting ready to die and I never even lived'.. I felt that

[@piergiorgiopassera3976]

= ... I'm thinking like you!

[@pauldonjohnson4290]

I'm 23 year old male been diagnose with a incurable disease with 2 kids stuck in debt with a broken heart. I felt what she meant

[@leowetzel2497]

Who gave that a thumbs down? I generally have no emotions, but even I had a tear in my eye at the end.

[@MarkNokesGuitar]

Many commenters are confusing hope with expectation. It is expectation at the root of suffering. Hope is beautiful.

*In a world that is in constant change we have to learn to adapt in order to survive. Life keeps going on no matter what we think about change or what happens to us, either we adapt or we are going to be left behind.*

Power of Hope comes from the Lord🙏🏿🙏🏿 thank you for sharing 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@Accomandoc]

God bless you. I don’t even have words for your experience. You are an incredible incredible inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your story and showing how tragedy CAN turn into greater.

[@nasirsiraj416]

My note over the lecture: i. It is not what happens to you, but how you choose to react to it, that matters. ii. Response with the power of hope. iii. I'm getting ready to die and I've never even lived. iv. I begged God for a second chance. v. Hope is the belief that your future can be better and brighter and that you actually play a role in making it better. vi. With your current situation and current limitation, what's that path? vii. Instead of focusing on what you can't do, focus on what you can. viii. The simple exercise of what you can asking yourself, if I had a magic wand, what would I do with my current situation and current limitation. ix. The best way to react and respond in this life is to respond with the power of hope.

[@Accomandoc]

Thank you for your notes! I’m going to use it for my guide to help myself. I need to pick myself up and try to believe in myself again.

“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air...but only for one second without hope.”

[@barbarailarpenter6815]

Wonderful and inspiring! You give me hope. Thank you!! You have achieved so much. Wow! I'm sorry you had to go through that day, though. I am sorry you lost friends and co workers. Best of everything to you always!

Hope is a placebo for people with an abundance of emotions.

Placebos work for some people.

Tony do you think Alex Honnold would've been able to climb El Capitan if he had an abundance of emotion?

Hope is NOT a good thing. Where hope exists, acceptance can not.

[@user-pl7tf9gv8e]

It is a good thing, at least for me.

[@JaysonT1]

@@user-pl7tf9gv8e Hope is a desire of something obtained in the future. This is the recipe for suffering. Hope and fear are the same.

[@user-pl7tf9gv8e]

[@MrDougfunny7]

Hope is the enemy actually.

[@mai6553]

Are you a proponent of fear and pain? Interesting.

[@giftedgreen2152]

Hope is so 2008.

[@garyraab9132]

Hope is not exactly an enemy, but more like a hinderance to understanding reality. Instead of putting faith into ‘hope’ for a better outcome, we all need to ask yourselves, ‘Where am I?’ What could I do to improve the situation?’ and ‘What are the risks and benefits associated with each maneuver?’ There isn’t a magic wand...there is however random chance...and we forget that we have much better odds just by living in North America. if we want a better World, an evangelical motivational talk is not going to do the trick. In the 21st-century, we must start paying more attention to reality, the reality of the environment, the reality of the importance of energy, and the reality of just how simple our brains are to being tricked into thinking that we are something divinely magical. It’s great that she made it out from under the rubble of a bomb blast... but there are hundreds of millions, if not billions of people in history that have not survived bomb blasts. humans are incredibly naïve if they think they can magically will themselves into a better life on earth... or into a enlightened afterlife!
