“More than just a moral issue, hope is a spiritual and even religious choice. Hope is not a feeling; it is a decision. And the decision for hope is based on what you believe at the deepest levels - what your most basic convictions are about the world and what the future holds - all based on your faith. You choose hope, not as a naive wish, but as a choice, with your eyes wide open to the reality of the world - just like the cynics who have not made the decision for hope.” WorldBelieveMadeFeelingsRealityEyeSpiritualChoicesWishReligiousDecisionLevelsMoralIssuesConvictionWideYou ChooseNaiveMoral IssuesEyes Wide Open Author:Jim Wallis
