The Role of Hope

A man asks about the role of hope, noting its significance in human experience but recognising that it always pertains to the future. Rupert references T.S. Eliot’s ‘I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope/For hope would be hope for the wrong thing’, explaining that hope is always for what is not present. However, at a relative level, it is natural to hope, such as when hoping a sick child recovers.
