“Many people also don’t understand why I am not more ‘angry’ at the state of things, in our community, and in our world.  The answer here is simple — at the end of the day, anger is not a strategy.  Anger is an emotion, and an unhelpful one when you need to actually make really important decisions about your life.  

No big decision you have ever made, was made better because you added anger to it. Even romantic love, needs some ‘reason’ attached to it, if it is to work.  

In contrast to anger, hope ~ always works.  There has never been an instance, where hope was inappropriate in your life.”
