Hope as Collective Emotion

„Joining with others who share one's experiences or commitments for a better life and world and uniting with them in collective action can restore and strengthen hope for the future when hope might otherwise be lost.“ Stockdale – Hope Under Oppression, 12

Hope in groups flourishes and intertwines like the roots of a tree -people reinforce each other in a world full of crises - hope of individuals is like the thin avocado stem you grew from a spar avocado.
