I see the huge importance of hope - but feel that its greatest significance lies in its connection with attitudes and behaviour on earth. A wide range of goals and the jouney here, strike me as the challenge we face - while we are flesh. I can see a central importance to hope and love - but that relates to life before, not after my candle is snuffed. My incentive is to try to do what is right while I am alive - not to be working towards some "unending joy" beyond the grave. Love to you Tony x Hello Dad
