Wise Hope in the Face of Adversity

Contemplating death can help in determining life's direction. Despite the prevalent hopelessness, adopting wise hope from the Buddhist tradition can be impactful. Wise hope involves accepting the world's imperfections as resistance. It encourages taking action in case things turn out fine, instead of succumbing to pessimism. Unlike blind optimism that can hinder motivation, wise hope motivates individuals to live their values, find meaning, and contribute to the world, even in challenging times.
