”FAITH”
I remember the first time I had to take a family to the morgue. The parents were viewing the body their deceased adult daughter. When I pulled back the sheet the look of calm on the deceased was if she saw eternity. To me that was “Faith”
”HOPE”
“Hope” rises from the forces that try to pull mankind down. We will go through wars, climate change, pandemics and civil unrest. If we are to survive man/womankind will have to find the strength to continue on. We will have to rise above the forces pulling it down. There is no other choice if we are to survive.
”CHARITY”
The concept of charity is that one gives expecting nothing tangible back in return. One may give from the heart. From guilt, because of religious beliefs or due to community pressure. At the end it doesn't matter what the motivation is, To live on a society where there are those without the basics for survival. No food. no adequate shelter, no medical care, no clothes, etc. Charity is what helps the community to survive.
