Hope = prime mover in the human story:
“Life is life - we struggle, we endure, we hope, we find happiness or lose it, but the struggle still goes on. If you quit trying, you’ll get buried by events, so you keep going.
… Hope keeps us going, and despair is what makes people stop trying. … When you get to the ending, you stop playing. The point is to keep playing, to try to do better, to surround yourself with people and work and things that you enjoy….
… [I]t’s the way people keep going in the face of adversity that makes them human.”
