Making a\u00a0Cape\u00a0<\/del> sorry..Case of Good Hope<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We all know 2020 has been\u00a0<\/span>quite the decade<\/span> (and we all have the stress wrinkles to prove it), so here’s hoping that this blog on hope<\/em><\/strong> is a boost.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wisdom of the crowds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Collective bias.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Herd mentality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Birds of the same feather flocking together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All of the above exemplifies the force<\/strong><\/em> and velocity<\/em><\/strong> of a human collective<\/strong><\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why not add hope<\/em><\/strong><\/span> to the mix? The power of collective hope<\/em><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unabashed capitalism<\/strong><\/em> has never been a great ally of either faith<\/em> <\/strong>or hope<\/em><\/strong>. But our hopes, not our hurts, shape our future<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If we can combine accepting finite disappointment without losing infinite hope<\/strong><\/em>, we would all be in clover.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Writer and essayist Lu Xun<\/em> <\/strong>has this to share on the power of collective hope<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

” Hope is like a road in the country side..where there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence “.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s not too late. The space of possibilities is endless<\/span><\/strong><\/em>. The most interesting terrain remains unexplored. Hope is like the sun. Never fails to rise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hope is a powerful four letter word. And collective hope is a four<\/span><\/strong><\/em>ce<\/span><\/strong> to reckon with.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
