Love this and especially loved the explanations of hope, optimism, skepticism and cynicism. Thank you!
The idea of hope as a practical response resonates. It's not saying anything is 'for sure' but rather there is a possibility for positive change. I can get behind that.......I'm reminded of the difference between healthy trust which carries healthy skepticism and blind trust, which does not . I appreciate this!
