Zone1 What is the reason for your hope?

[Meriweather]

1 Peter 3:15: Always be ready to give a reason, an explanation, for your hope.

What is your hope/expectation? What is the reason for it?

[Blues Man]

I strive to have no expectations of the universe.

Expectations lead to wants. Wants lead to desire. Desire is the cause disharmony with nature.

 

[White 6]

1 Peter 3:15: Always be ready to give a reason, an explanation, for your hope.

What is your hope/expectation? What is the reason for it?

Things work out. Based on experience and the ability to cope and adapt advantageously.

Expectations lead to wants. Wants lead to desire. Desire is the cause disharmony with nature.

I see, be a drone then, the DNC is full of them.

No hope, and no expectations from the Potato head.

 

[lg325]

The reason for my hope is Jesus Christ.

 

[Blues Man]

I see, be a drone then, the DNC is full of them.

No hope, and no expectations from the Potato head.

Not a democrat or a republican.

And expectations lead to disappointment. Disappointment leads to unhappiness.

I wake up every day with no expectations and I get to fully enjoy the simple act of living in this amazing world and I am never disappointed.

 

[Mr Natural]

Life is a series of disappointments interrupted by tragic events.

 

[Care4all]

The reason for my hope is Jesus Christ.

Protection from all anxiety, as we wait in joyful hope, for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ...

Was in a prayer that was said in Church, when I was young!

Expectations lead to wants. Wants lead to desire. Desire is the cause disharmony with nature.

On the back of my calling card, I used to have a quote. "Expectations are pre-planned resentments."

 

[Mr Natural]

Go through life with low expectations. This way you’ll be surprised more often than disappointed.

 

[JohnDB]

The reason for my hope is Jesus Christ.

Things are easier to withstand when you worship the God of Hope.

Otherwise it is nothing but despair and chaos.

 

[Meriweather]

Beer

Good start. Perhaps a good finish as well.

Beer is a good subjective hope., meaning that while it is your hope, another's hope might be wine, bourbon, or a diet soft drink. Do you have an objective hope, something that is true whether people believe it, disagree with it, ignore it, or are simply ignorant of it.

A posted speed limit is an example of an objective truth. Do you have an objective hope?

 

[Meriweather]

Expectations lead to wants. Wants lead to desire. Desire is the cause disharmony with nature.

Is this an objective hope--i.e. something that is true all the time for all people whether they believe it, disagree with it, ignore it, or are ignorant of it?

 

[Meriweather]

Things work out.

I happen to agree,. Is this true for all circumstances and for all people?

 

[Meriweather]

The reason for my hope is Jesus Christ.

In your eyes is Jesus Christ a subjective hope, true just for some? Or is he an objective hope? What is/are the objective reason/s for hope in Jesus?

 

[Meriweather]

Protection from all anxiety, as we wait in joyful hope, for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ...

Your thoughts on whether Jesus Christ is a subjective hope or an objective hope?

 

[Meriweather]

On the back of my calling card, I used to have a quote. "Expectations are pre-planned resentments."

Short-term resentments or long-term resentments? What would be an example of a permanent resentment for all?

 

[Meriweather]

Things are easier to withstand when you worship the God of Hope.

Can you explain why this is true for all?

 

[Votto]

Not a democrat or a republican.

And expectations lead to disappointment. Disappointment leads to unhappiness.

I wake up every day with no expectations and I get to fully enjoy the simple act of living in this amazing world and I am never disappointed.

No joy, no pain, just comfortably numb and unfeeling.

Kinda like Hunter in the White House

And yes, he is a disappointment, even for you.
