According to ancient traditions, Hope represents a Virtue. Therefore, Hope, as a Virtue, can be associated with one of the vital forces which always accompanies us in our interior course. From time to time Hope takes strength from the consciousness of an aim in Life, or serves to reinforce in us such a consciousness. Succeeding in grasping the essence of Hope makes us conscious of our own centrality. But observing attentively, one can see tha Hope is completely indipendant of contingent situations. Therefore it makes no sense to give objectives to our Hope, confusing it with our own desires. So one must consider the way of being combined with the full consciousness of living in accordance with Hope. It is then that one perceives the forces of Virtues. |
