What role does hope play in your life today, in light of our on-going multiple tribulations? Is it a factor in your planning, coping, and social life?

Is Hope part of your religious or spiritual outlook?

What do you understand about the role of Hope in healthfulness and in coping with illness?

How would you relate Hope to “wishful thinking”, “denial”, and other forms of “false hope”?

Do you view Hope as a skill or set of skills (e.g., self-motivation, grit, determination, resourcefulness)?

To inform your thinking: Read the excellent entry on Hope at Wikipedia.org,  deftly summarizing the scientific, cultural, religious, and psychological knowledge about the subject.

Please join us to share your experiences, knowledge, and wisdom!
