Thank you BJ Miller for your insights, humanity, humor and candor. Your views on "hope" brought up something we discussed with Vikki Reynolds this week she called "believed in hope" that is a form of hope in action and is as,you said, relative to context. She shared an example of hope even in the seemingly darkest places like death row. Where the hope may not end up being freedom, but to die with a tiny shred of dignity of one's humanity being seen and shared, even if with only one other person. Was powerful to consider and your views on hope, it being fluid depending on circumstances transported me.
