Guest guest Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Yes !!! Absolutely, yes! ) in love, yuka RE: Janay Re: Re: Rasha's MRI results-Not good... Yuka- As I read, I was thinking how to differentiate good hope from bad hope. It seems to me that " hope " almost always connotes an expectation that may or may not be realistic. " Gratitude " and " Trust " when put together seem to define " good hope " - expectations for goodness, gratitude for whatever comes, trust that anything (even the things that look " bad " ) will be ultimately good, etc. Does that make sense? I am reading a book by Dr - not high on the spiritual realm - but something I read recently speaks to this. She talks about everything being a double-sided coin. In marriage, for example, your partner comes with all the good things you love. But he/she is forever bound to the other stuff that drives you crazy. You can't have one side of the coin without the other. Every single thing in life has that same duality. The rain that ruins my parade is a blessing to the farmer. Every obstacle and tragedy in our path brings us new understandings and insights. Gratitude and trust recognize and honor that duality. Hope ignores the tarnished side of the coin.
