Where do we find hope?

We are at the final segment of our topical triad of philosophical subjects that tell a story. In January we dealt with 'the soul' and what is a human being. In February, we had a conversation about 'evil' and what might be wrong with us and our world. This month we are having a discussion about 'hope' and what might make things right.

Where does hope fit into a desired future. If hope has to do with a desired future, what is the relationship between the object of hope and the act of hope. What degree of plausibility should be attached to hope? How do our desires of a future state relate to its viability. What role does hope play in our own persons? What role does it play with society at large? What is the comparison between optimism and hope? What role might hope play as a catalyst for change? Does ‘always looking on the bright side of life’ make sense? How does a dissatisfaction with the present lay a foundation for hope in a ‘better’ future?

You are more than welcome to come along for a facilitated conversation about hope.
