Hope

[verdande_mi]

I thought it would be nice to talk about hope today. What are your hopes for the future? Be as general or specific as you want. Which changes do you want to see in how we go about life and building our societies and communities? What dreams do you want to fulfil?

A few things from me:

I wish it were easier for humankind to live in accordance with the Cardamon Law. It’s simple and to the point: One shall not bother others, one shall be nice and kind, otherwise one may do as one pleases.

In the future I want to continue to take notice of the small wonders and joys of life. I hope I will have a small garden so I can keep learning how to tend one properly and be surrounded my flowers.

I dream of a stable full-time job, where I can feel secure and grow.

I hope the future will be kind to my nephew and niece, and all young people, that the natural environment and social environment will be healthy and stable. Meaning first we must be able to right wrongs and change how we go about a lot of things. A big one is learning how to coexist and live and let live, to see all human beings as humans and treat everyone accordingly.

I hope people in the future also have hope and can dream of better days and new horizons.

Whenever I see the word hope I think of the quote from The Last Jedi

‘Hope is like the sun, if you only believe in it when you can see it you’ll never make it through the night’

Those are good hopes to have

I hope people learn to be nicer to each other. The world is bad enough as it is without being nasty, but it’s something that has infected everywhere.

My only hope is I’m able to see my loves. They’re far away and I’ve never hated it more than I do now

[verdande_mi]

They are indeed :)

I hope you will be able to see your loves ones as soon as possible.

I hope I can move house without catching COVID;

I hope they find a vaccine for COVID;

I hope my partner gets a job;

I hope the Democrats win the next US election, or, that if it's a Republican, it is literally anyone other than Trump;

I hope countries start seriously addressing climate change...

[verdande_mi]

Good luck with moving! I hope it goes well :)

A vaccine would of course be wonderful, and it's needed if sine we otherwise probably have to deal with this pandemic for a long time.

Crossing my fingers for a democrating win! I'm not from the US, but I will send all the good vibes I can.

I do hope more countries will too, we do need changes.

Yes, I'm Australian, but the party in power in the US affects the rest of the world so much...

For myself:
*I hope I can find the energy to start working towards changing jobs some time later this year.
*I want to keep practicing mindfulness, and I want to keep growing as a person.

For the world:
*I wish we would stop repeating the mistakes of the past and work on being welcoming and practicing cooperation and transparency instead of being ultra nationalistic and hateful.
*I hope for more (truly) democratic governments around the world, and more and more rights and equality for women, gay and transgender people and other persecuted groups (kudos Costa Rica !).

[verdande_mi]

All the best with changing jobs!

I need to do better with mindfulness too, I did well when I first started, but these days I rarely take the time.

Repeatinng mistakes! It's so sad how very well we do that.

Very much agree with your last comment, and democracy and equal rights are very much lacking in many places.

I hope my work will return in September.

On a larger scale, I hope the US elections will not be won by the Orange Lord, that the world will return to a normal normal at some point.

And I hope that for the many small entrepreneurs in my town the opening up will be soon enough that they may salvage their businesses. Both because of the personal tragedy for them and their families if they do not, and because all of us will be so much the poorer in a world without small shops, restaurants, etc. They are the life blood of our communities.

Crossing my fingers for you :)

I hope for a new US president too! I will be sending good vibes from Norway!

Such a difficult for so many people these days, I hope as many as possible make it through.

I hope that my teenage son (just finishing 10th grade) will FINALLY find his fire and understand that education is important, and that it's worth putting some EFFORT into, and that, yes, any career that he wants will require some kind of education or training and EFFORT. Right now, we are terrified for his future.

I hope we can get rid of the sexist egotistical lying hypocritical bigot in the White House this fall.

I hope I figure out what I want to do with a MLS degree, and that going back to school isn't a mistake.

I dream the same dream that MLKjr had: that we can finally learn to treat each other with dignity and respect.

[verdande_mi]

I hope your son wakes up!

And I very much hope you do get rid of the current President.

What is a MLS degree?

It's sad that we are so bad at dignity and respect :(

[aome]

MLS = Master of Library Science (graduate degree). :-)

[verdande_mi]

Sorry for the late reply, life happened!

Good luck with your studies :) :)

I hope people in the future also have hope and can dream of better days and new horizons.

Thank you for saying so and phrasing it so well. I actually sat here with this post open for almost an hour yesterday, not knowing what to say in response. Even though I didn't type anything, I'm feeling better today. :) M.

[verdande_mi]

You're welcome :) :) I am glad you felt better.

Lovely topic!

I hope Biden wins in November. (Even better if it's a landslide and the Dems take the Senate, but let's not be too greedy.)

I hope there's an effective vaccine for COVID-19 sooner rather than later, and that there's enough for everyone around the globe who wants one.

I hope the current protests a) lead to meaningful change and b) don't lead to spikes in COVID cases.

I hope I enjoy the new job I'm about to start.

I hope I get to return to traveling next year.

[verdande_mi]

Glad you enjoed the post :)

Me too, me too, re Biden. I'm not from the US, but I hope for a chance in Goverment overthere regardless.

I hope so as well! It would be terrible if we were unable to get it out to everyone.

There's been protests in Norway and well, protests I would have liked to attend, but I did not feel comfortable doing so with restrictions still in place to avoid the virus spreading. A change in very much needing and is long over due.

Good luck with the new job :D I am still job searching, and there's so few things to apply to with Covid making people stick to where they are.

I want to travel again as well, I miss it.
