(From page 312 of the book “Jumbo Jumble”)
….A primary ingredient towards building a better future is faith (and hope), strengthened with a sincere belief that such a future is possible…..
Author’s Comment: Faith and hope is not a naive optimism, but the belief that we have the potential to create lives which bring about a better world for ourselves, the natural environment, and especially for future generations. Cynics will have you believe that faith is foolish, but then how can the entire financial industry of the world (incurring debt and investing to make more money) be explained, since its whole foundation is based on the belief in a better future? Indeed, faith and hope can create “miracles” which would be impossible without them.
