Hope is a state of mind, not a state of the world. . . .Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
We have forgotten that we are connected to all of our relations on earth, not just our human family. We have forgotten that we have responsibilities to all these relations, just as we have them to our human family.
