What do you place your hope in OT?

Relationships, society, science, religion, etc?

Expanded a little further: what are the base reasons you get out of bed in the morning and continue living.

I place it on myself. The day I don't I shall go no further.

God.

I've already realized how stupid my "excuses" are and I no longer feel any great "discord" in myself and so instead of waiting motionless and achieving nothing, I want to be active in motion.

A bit of luck.

Myself

The decency of people

The power of social progression

Empathy

GURU NANAK

The people.

And in Harvey Dent.

Nothing.

If im living another day then I got to do what needs to be done. I continue living simply because im still alive and I have keep living.

If Im still living, then I got to do all those things that life requires. What ever I experience on the way is just part of the human and living experience.

I place my hope in @plageus900

Hope is a sad thing-T-Bone.

Hope I am not getting arthritis.

I place faith more than hope in my abilities to get jobs done, to reap the rewards that come of it and to work on a project of choice to fulfill my passions.

Not much hope. We're in the 21st century and there are countries that act like they're still in the 14th century. Too many people on this planet as well.

Plageus, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, I really like food. So I guess food is mine

God,family,and Tim Horton's coffee.

Where the future of humanity is concerned, I place my hopes on science and society to get us out of the mess we have ourselves in with an overpopulated planet diminishing rapidly in resources and to become a more just society where opportunity truly is equal.

Where my future is concerned, I guess I'll just have to place my hopes on myself.

Agree. As SOedipus stated, too much of humanity don't get that "the past is a construct of the mind" Slightly out of context from the rebooted Total Recall, but too many minds and cultures are mired in the past, and are apparently intent on staying there.

@transk53: Yeah. I don't want to rail on other cultures, but it's true that many of them have aspects which are quite outdated. Still, I think the world as a whole is progressing, and I hope they continue to do so.

Hope you are right with that assessment. I'm a bit of a cynic when it comes to humanity and the Star Trekish type thinking. Nothing wrong with what that program portrayed, I just wonder if the fabric of all society will just go boom one day. The future will be bright, just what type of bright concerns me.

Good luck with that.

@LJS9502_basic: I have hope

The ones I interact with in the real world are all decent enough folks

Sadly the bad people are the loudest and that's what the media gets saturated with

honestly I don't know any more, to tell you the truth.

I have an innate optimism and hope, very broad and general, that good things will happen. So I guess hope gets me out of bed.

And people. I like people. Most people are good, have good stories, good jokes, etc.. Its a shame I suffer from anxiety, depression, and an introverted personality; with my love of humanity I would have made a good, I don't know, charity or social worker. If I was a better student I'd likely be a therapist.

Anyway, really opened up the Bojangles floodgates today lol...

Yeah, it is very rarely that I encounter a truly bad person, and even then I would argue they are only unpleasant to deal with because they are a product of their environment.

I'd rather be disappointed on rare occasions and have a positive outlook, than expect everyone to be a prick and not be disappointed.
