Hope is fragile and needs to be tended and renewed.
Patric Shade
We
should expect hope's reciprocity as a natural flowering of the life of
hope. Helping others and nurturing hope is expressive of hopefulness
itself. It is an extension of the hopeful self to reach out to others,
promoting the connection of agency and the enrichment of horizons of
meaning. Hope's reciprocity grows out of the very social nature of hope;
we thus frequently see it live in family relations, in intimacy, in
love. And so hope spreads. This spreading should not surprise us; like
love, it is freely given, fostered, and nurtured.
