NOT YET RATED
Then every man would be as a god, you see. The result of this, of course, would be that there would no longer be any gods, only men. We would give them knowledge of the sciences and the arts, which we possess, and in so doing we would destroy their simple faith and remove all basis for their hoping that things will be better—for the best way to destroy faith or hope is to let it be realized.

What we really need is only a heart of surrender & always trust what God has plan for our life. So we do our best, God shall take the rest. That's what I called FAITH.

Your dreamers. You ridiculous children. You dancing grinning fuckups. Here is your bright future. Your earnest, saccharine hope. How does it taste dripping from the neck of everyone you love?

Topic: Hope
NOT YET RATED
I'm a writer and this is what I do no matter what name we put to it. Year by year, the world is turning into a darker and stranger place than any of us could want. This is the only thing I do that has potential to shine a little further than my immediate surroundings. For me, each story is a little candle held up to the dark of night, trying to illuminate the hope for a better world where we all respect and care for each other.

Hope is the last thing that dies.

Maybe because hope is one of those dratted things that is truly, honestly, genuinely immortal.

Taggle, meanwhile, made himself popular, killing rats and bringing a rabbit into camp every evening, preening in the praise - silently, thank god, though at night, he recounted choice bits to Kate: "Rye Baro says I am a princeling; he split the leg bone for me so that I could eat the marrow. They love me. And I'm sure they'll keep you, too."
Mira, she thought, and treasured it each time she heard it, They must keep me. Family.

A sixth basic fact about nonviolent resistance is that it is based on the conviction that the universe is on the side of justice. Consequently, the believer in nonviolence has deep faith in the future.

Topic: Hope
NOT YET RATED
I know not what storms still await me, but looking back, I sense in my heart an involuntary joy. Seeing many waves, through which my soul had to navigate, I am unexpectedly overjoyed. Heavy winds focused in on my soul; many unseen rocks awaited her, threatened her salvation, and still I survived. By human reckoning I should have died long ago. I am convinced that I was led by the strange and difficult paths of the inscrutable Providence of God; I am convinced that He stands watch over me as if holding my hand by His Almighty right hand. I submit myself to Him! May He lead me whither He wills; may He lead me, as He wishes, to a calm harbor, "where there is no sickness, nor sorrow, nor sighing.

Eine Ideologie kann man nicht mit Bomben bekämpfen. Ein Großteil des Hasses gegen Israel – bei dem Teil der palästinensischen Bevölkerung, der die Geisel und Toten bejubelte, die durch die Straßen Gazas paradiert wurden, und Süßigkeiten verteilte – ist über Jahrzehnte indoktriniert und kann nicht wie ein Licht ausgeknipst werden. Keine Armee der Welt kann Jahrzehnte des Misstrauens und des Hasses allein durch Kämpfen besiegen. Erst recht keine, deren Soldaten von Verletzung, Rache, Wut oder existenzieller Angst angetrieben sind. Erst recht nicht, wenn die Menschen, die irgendwann als friedliche Nachbarn neben uns leben sollen, alles verlieren, was den Wunsch nach Frieden antreiben könnte.

Looking up revealed that the dawn was as beautiful as ever, that sunlight bathed the planet with a warmth and equity that bonded my fortunes to those of all living things. I made a point of watching the sunrise and looking at people when I passed them. Where once I saw humans as goblins, trolls and demons — the perpetrators of all the horror in my world — I began to see elves, fairies and a sprinkling of hobbits in the mix.

Una delle ragioni per cui il mondo non è ancora scomparso è forse che, anche nei momenti più drammatici, c'è sempre qualcuno che impassibile guarda da un'altra parte. Dei cerchi nella sabbia... Il frontone di una casa a Delft... A bordo di una nave i cui cannoni si stanno preparando a sostenere i loro argomenti di vita e di morte, c'è un uomo completamente assorto nell'osservazione del passaggio di Venere. Per noi che cerchiamo di seguire la storia di Niebuhr e dei suoi compagni duecento anni dopo, quando altre rampe di lancio vengono preparate per ben altre detonazioni, vi è quasi un che di consolatorio in questa immagine. Anche noi vorremmo osservare questi lontani avvenimenti con tutta la precisione possibile, ma anche il nostro astrolabio a volte trema un po’...
