I'm a hopeaholic

There's a lot in this that a Christ-follower could affirm, well, this one anyhow.

hope is contagious. With that in mind, I offer you a few of my hopes from early and late in life.
I hope we learn that whatever is done to children, they are likely to do to society. If we can raise even one generation without violence, we have no idea what might be possible on Spaceship Earth.
I hope that spirituality overwhelms religion. I say this because spirituality links, religion ranks; spirituality sees God in all living things, religion rations out God to some more than others; spirituality celebrates life, religion celebrates life after death.
I hope we choose self-authority over hierarchy. We will have to, because the purpose of the latter is to undermine the former.
I hope we learn that the end doesn't justify the means; on the contrary, the means create the ends.

The only one of those [and there are others in the article] I might tweak would be the self authority one: not that I would choose hierarchy, but I worry that there is too little acknowledgement of the role of the corporate and that it can be good, even if it often isn't.
