Hope only exists when I am unwilling to be part of the change.
It is interesting that I never considered such point - because in our society hope is a "nice" word. It is socially accepted and makes one feel good about preaching it. Indeed, hope is very much preached in Christianity. So we should ask ourselves: Why are we promoting hope, instead of doing something about the so-hopped-change we are eager to see happening? Recently, while writing on my way home, I saw children playing on the pavement: they were smiling and enjoying themselves in full expression, while on the bus adults were quite, most probably coming back from work and no smiles at all...For a moment I wished the children to keep that joy for ever - because the majority of the adults do not seem to keep it. But soon I realised that such "hope" was stupid, unless I would lie to the children and make them believe that they will enjoy this Life the best way possible... unfortunately the majority of the children will soon come across the reality of this economic system and become the adults on the bus on their way home, full of debt and lost dreams. So instead of hoping that they will "do something about it" I rather stand up now! There is no need to have hope in the future if we practice the best for all in the present. That is why I have been writing and expressing my support for the Equal Money System -- which would give us all a new start, since money would be used to create Life for ALL unconditionally. No more survival, no more deception, no more lies to children and no more broken smiles...
The other point that is really important to consider, specially if you believe that the next generations will do wonders, is that the future generations are a reflection of who we are in the present. There is no magic. Children will copy what they see around them. That is why each one is responsible for oneself, and together we are all responsible for the outcome of our Lives on earth. Remember that the new-born children come from our bodies and the patterns will pass on in the DNA.
Grandfathers, parents and children are all in the same process of self-perfection. If you have replaced your self-trust by Hope, then it is time for you to bring yourself here and trust yourself.
Write down the fears, hopes and desires that are holding yourself back, forgive yourself and get ready to become an example to yourself. How come parents hope their children to be successful if they define themselves as losers?
There is no point in hopping for children to bring about a change if we believe that we are unable to change the world ourselves.
really great post, thanks for sharing!
