Hard Times Reality Thinking
For its part, government will listen. we will strive to listen in new ways - to the voices of quiet anguish, to voices that speak without words, the voices of the heart, to the injured voices, and the anxious voices, and the voices that have despaired of being heard.
Heart Government Voice
And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
We need scientists to design new fuels. we need farmers to help grow them. we need engineers to invent new technologies. we need entrepreneurs to sell those technologies. we need workers to operate assembly lines that hum with high-tech, zero-carbon components. we need builders to hammer into place the foundations for a clean energy age. we need diplomats and businessmen and women, and peace corps volunteers to help developing nations skip past the dirty phase of development and transition to sustainable sources of energy. in other words, we need you.
Zero Dirty Past
It is said that the fear of public speaking is a fear greater than death for most people. according to psychiatrists, the fear of public speaking is caused by the fear of ostracism, the fear of standing out, the fear of criticism, the fear of ridicule, the fear of being an outcast. the fear of being different prevents most people from seeking new ways to solve their problems.
