What do you hope in?
I have talked with several people this month where this topic came up. All had different reasons for talking about it, including my own. I think we all talk about it.
The world’s social climate is a vast reason for thinking about it. So, are many many personal circumstances my friends and myself find ourselves in.
I write this from a Christian perspective, but I might surprise you with my personal answers. I do it at the risk of offending some because I do not subscribe to some common “church/Christian” theories.
