The 7th virtue

The separating difference between a visions truth and lie…

Virtue 7- Hope

To hope is to achieve the vision.

To make hope effective is to use the vision that was achieved.

Some may say that the vision is given by a higher power with absolute uncertainty.

I don’t disagree nor disprove that claim.

Though the subconscious mind is unnoticeable and therefore looked over.

We hardly see reality, it is challenging to even know what.

Like what is happening to the forces of society, what is happening when I act this way, eat this, and say that.

Then after answering the ‘What’ question people jump to the why of things.

Why did s/he do that?

Why did I choose this path?

Why did Rome fall?

Why did WW1 & WW2 happen?

Truthfully none of that matters, knowing the ‘why’ is an extra step of understanding and wisdom to take.

Knowing why is the last thing you need to know, never ask yourself why.

Rather ask the how Of things.

How did he end up saying that?

How did wars happen?

How did I end up in this situation?

Asking the 'how' is seeking a Logical answer, and asking the 'why' is seeking the emotional answer.

Logic before emotions, Logic then emotions.

This will help you keep intact with reality even when you are around those who are in a state of delusion.

Ask How over why after what.

This correlates with hope because hope correlates with how much you know, understand, and your level of wisdom.

Then hope's second layer is defined by the outside forces of this world.

Do not let the outside forces of the world be stronger and of a higher impact than your being.

When that happens you will only see hopeless eye’s when looking upon someone.

Having hope is being stronger.

Don’t mistaken hope to be an emotional thing. Hope with your logic. For hope is a logical pursuit, hence why it is a virtue.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
