Inhabiting the World with Hope
“Hope is the last to die” says an old Italian adage.<br />The etymology of the word comes from the Old English hopa "confidence in the future". <br />From the 13th century, the word took the connotation of expectation of something desired, and of trust and wishful desire. <br />Emily Dickinson has a very visual definition of it, she says: “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.” What I like about such imagery is the lack of object towards which hope is directed, it’s not about hoping for something, but about opening oneself to a hopeful disposition of the soul.<br />Martin Luther King Jr calls it infinite hope one must always keep, while accepting finite disappointment. <br /><br />In English, hope is a somewhat abstract idea of expectation, but in Hebrew the word “tikvah” not only means expectation, but also cord or rope, from a root that means to bind, to wait for or upon.<br />Hope, in Christian thought is one of the theological virtues and is directed exclusively toward the future, as fervent desire and confident expectation.<br />Someone once asked Rumi, the beloved Sufi poet whether or not there is harm in putting one’s hopes in God and expecting a good recompense for having done good.<br />“Yes - was his answer- one must have hope and fear, for these two are inseparable. When a farmer plants wheat, he of course hopes that it will grow. At the same time, however, he is fearful that some disaster may befall it.”<br />For once, I must disagree with the great Sufi teacher, as I feel that hope doesn’t need to be a response to fear but must go hand in hand with acceptance. I hope for a certain outcome, but I am ready to accept that things might turn out otherwise, because I trust the mysterious ways in which life operates and I abandon myself to its flowing, hoping to reach safe ashore.<br />In the mystic branch of Islam hope for the union of the soul with the divine was expressed through images of human yearning and love. <br />In Psychology hope is classified as a positive anticipatory emotion.

Inhabiting the World with Tenderness
Inhabiting the World with Tenderness<br /><br />This episode of Inhabiting the World is dedicated to tenderness.<br />From Latin, Tèn-uem, from which derives tenuous as well, tenderness implies the quality of something that can be rolled out, that’s malleable and soft. <br />When we show, manifest, express tenderness, we feel a deep and soft affection for someone or something with compassion and love.<br />Tenderness is a quality which we generally associate with girls and ladies who are supposed to be the milder of the two sexes. The males on the other hand, are embodiments of physical strength and prowess. Females are meek, docile and soft-spoken. They are soft and tender in both touch and feel. What a cliché!<br /><br />According to William James, father of American psychology, there is an organic affinity between joyousness and tenderness, and their companionship in the saintly life need in no way occasion surprise. Kids are also soft and we associate tenderness with them as well. <br />Anything that is smooth and soft is tender. In the words of Victor Hugo, “The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.” <br />Dostoevsky had a point when he said:<br />“It’s the great mystery of human life that old grief passes gradually into quite tender joy.”<br /><br />Ada Merini, the great Italian poetess sang:<br /><br />We are hungry for tenderness,<br />In a world where everything is abundant,<br />We are poor of such a sentiment<br />Like a caress<br />For our heart<br />We need tiny gestures<br />That makes us feel good,<br />Tenderness<br />Is a love disinterested and generous<br />That asks for nothing else,<br />But to be understood and appreciated.

Inhabiting the World with Forgiveness
Forgiveness<br />September 28th, 2021<br /><br />“If you want to see the brave, look to those who can return love for hatred. If you want to see the heroic, look to those who can forgive.” <br />The Bhagavad Gita<br /><br />After the summer holidays, a time to vacate the spirit and recharge the batteries, here I am with a new episode of “Inhabiting the World”. This time, we are going to reflect and meditate on forgiveness.<br /><br />Fred Luskin, the director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Projects,<br />defines forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they deserve your forgiveness.<br />The essence of forgiveness is being resilient when things don’t go the way you want, being at peace with the vulnerability inherent in human life. But before you can forgive, he says, you must grieve. At the most basic level, forgiveness is on a continuum with grief. When you’re offended or hurt or violated, the natural response is to grieve. All of those problems can be seen as a loss—whether we lose affection or a human being or a dream—and when we lose something, we have a natural reintegration process, which we call grief. Then forgiveness is the resolution of grief.”
