Conjectures: from latin, conjectus, literally, to throw together, com+jacere; midrash of texts and contexts; interpretation of events; reflections on spirit, church, and society. ''At the bottom of the heart of every human being, from earliest infancy until the tomb, there is something that goes on indomitably expecting, in the teeth of all experience of crimes committed, suffered and witnessed, that good and not evil will be done.'' Simone Weil

If it is true that for Nietzsche "a nihilist is a person who considers that the world as it is now should not be, and who considers that the world as it should be does not exist", one can understand that any proposition of an inaccessible ideal can only reinforce the prevailing nihilism. Hope must begin not with life as we wish it, but with life as it is. MG+
