There has been no doubt in my mind at all that hope does vanquish fear. When I set my mind to what I want for our world there is no room for fear. Think of it this way, hope is like a light and fear is the darkness. Wherever there is hope fear cannot reside. The same can be said about love vanquishing hatred. What hope does for us is allow us the opportunity to live our lives with some great expression of possibility. I was thinking about this earlier this morning, everything is possible, even those things we think are impossible. Now are they likely, not much but still regardless of what limited thinking our society has reached, there is much more that we don't know and where there is a lack of knowledge there exists possibility. In possibility we can create our hope and as long as hope exists so does the realization of hope. Now I am not saying that knowledge is a barrier to hope but where we cannot apply logic with any absolutism, we still have the mystery of possibility. That is all I am saying here. What we now consider logical may well be irrational in the future as our knowledge base grows. yet for that growth to occur we must dream beyond our current status and place our hope in whatever is better and best from our imaginations. We, as the human species, have always and will continue to be a curious sort. It is even exemplified in other life forms on our planet. Being curious is what we do, otherwise we would not have been given the gift of mobility, our five or more sense gatherers, reason, analysis and concluding. The logical nature of our species is to survive, care for each other and to seek out new and understandable knowledge. We get there by hoping for something more in our lives and applying that hope into action. Fear has no place in our lives except one, and that is as a defense mechanism, not a progressive step toward our future.
