^Hope ~wish~

Figure

A dark entrance to a tunnel whose shape is arched on top
  and has a flat base and sides.
In the distance a bright shining exit of similar shape.

Annotate

  1. ^Divide ^Trust to bring about ^Moderate ~intuition~ and ~outlook~ but ~minimum~ ~learn~. 
    1. ^Feel ^Good about the ~unknown~ ~parts~ of it. 
    2. ^Act to the ^Good in ^Step one. 
    3. ^Refuse it with ~gratitude~ until we have ~strength~ to ^Think directly for it (as a ~map~). 
    4. In ~weakness~, ^Care to ^Stop to ^Accept our ~limitations~ in its regard. 

Subject

^Hope is a mode of ^Boundary that ~helps~ us to ^React optimistically to the ~unknown~.  For those ^Who ^Fall.  For those ^Who are ^Okay to ^Fall because they ^Know there's power in the ^Fail.  For those ^Who ^Try to ^Improve on the ~PATH~. 

^Hope over-manifests in ~full~ ~strength~ but we may ^Temper it to a ~healthy~ amount as we ^Turn from it to ^Inspire it in others ^Who are in ~weakness~. 

^Hope (and its counterpart of ^Worry) is a ~process~ by which we ^Tend to ^Trust to ^Inspire it. 

Target

Anytime we ^Fall and ^Want to get up ^Again.  ^Notice ~slow~ anytime so we can ^Look for ~strength~ to ^Heal.  ^When ~SICK~ we can ^Fail towards a ^Better ~way~. 

It is self-causing so once ^Present it signals that it is time to ^Stop and ^Think away from it for its ~own~ sake. 

We could ^Contend or disprove every distortion one by one until we ^Manage it ~all~ in our ^Mind.  However, afterwards we cannot ^Maintain ~momentum~, and we ^Reduce our ~sight~ with ~all~ that new ~knowledge~ in interference.  ^When we resist a mode with ^Force of fact we also trade ^Hope for ^Worry and ^Belief for ^Doubt.  Our militancy to ^Help ~one-another~ ~learn~ or grasp ^Truth has this significant drawback.  Without ~momentum~, we cannot ^Gain ~outlook~.  And without ~sight~, we cannot ^Gain ~intuition~.  But ~outlook~ and ~intuition~ account for the most practical ~knowledge~ of ~all~. 

We ^Inspire ^Doubt and ^Worry ^When we ^Care ^Enough to teach away our distortions.  Ergo, we ^Respond with ~less~ ~hope~ and ~belief~ unless we ^Make an effort to ^Maintain them.  ^When we are not yet ^Trustful or ^Honest, an ~excess~ of ~doubt~ and ~worry~ is already ^Present so instead ^Choose to ^Believe and ^Trust to ^Hope. 

Rather than ~attempt~ the tightrope walk ~between~ ^Hope and ^Worry, we can ^Stabilize both as we ^Love every ~mode~ and distortion in others and ourselves while they ~function~ in us.  Every ~mode~ has a ~purpose~ so ^Prefer any means that ~helps~ us to ^Work in ~hope~ so that our ~immunity~ may have the time it needs.
