Three Vitrues

(9)

Hope is psychologically necessary of course, but you need to learn to live with minimal hope. You need to learn to live with miniscule hope. All you need is a little hope. Very little hope. Not much.

I must admit that you also need a little faith. Not much: only a little faith will do. As you live out your glorious and beautiful lives you will only need a little faith. Not much! A little faith will do, and a little, small, hope. You will also need love.

Faith and Hope are the most miniscule terms in our equation. Love is the biggie. If you want to live successfully you will need love. Love beautifies. Life without faith or hope is doomed, but life without love is slavery.

So 'these three are necessary, but the greatest of these is love.'
