Optimism or Hope?

I've tried to bring a message of hope, not of optimism. We know that the fle epidemic did not suddenly create a wee society. The only effective political force that's worked is the nation. Let's have one nation, not a divided nation. And number three, we've seen the growth, locally, of community spirit like we've never had before. That's the wee of community. I don't think any of these things are automatic. They will require determination, wisdom and great courage. It needs no courage, only a certain naivety, to be an optimist. But it needs sometimes a great deal of courage to have hope. There are herendous possibilities here.
