A Genuinely Fundamental And Hopeful Improvement In

Either We Have Hope Within Us Or We Don't It Is A Dimension Of The Soul, And Is Not Essentially Dependent On Some Particular Observation Of The World Or Observation Of The Situation. Hope Is Not Prognostication. It Is An Orientation Of The Spirit, An Orientation Of The Heart.

Hope Is Not A Feeling. It Is Not The Belief That Things Will Turn Out Well, But The Conviction That What You Are Doing Makes Sense, No Matter How Things Turn Out.

I Believe That During The Intervention Of Nato In Kosovo There Is An Element Nobody Can Question: The Air Attacks, The Bombs, Are Not Caused By A Material Interest. Their Character Is Exclusively Humanitarian: What Is At Stake Here Are The Principles, Human Rights Which Have Priority Above State Sovereignty. This Makes It Legitimate To Attack The Yugoslav Federation, Although Without The United Nations Mandate.

There Can Be No Doubt That Distrust Of Words Is Less Harmful Than Unwarranted Trust In Them.

The Kind Of Hope That I Often Think About…i Understand Above All As A State Of Mind, Not A State Of The World. Either We Have Hope Within Us, Or We Don’t. It Is A Dimension Of The Soul It’s Not Essentially Dependent Upon Some Particular Observation Of The World Or Estimate Of The Situation. Hope Is Not The Conviction That Something Will Turn Out Well, But The Certainty That Something Makes Sense, Regardless Of How It Turns Out.
