“Hope is…essential to waiting. Why wait unless there is something worth waiting for? There is logic to the world’s frenetic grasping for everything now - not only does it lack humility, but it has given up on a future that is anything more than an extension of the present. Eternity is a vague unknown; the here and now is what is substantial. The world reasons that since there is no great eternal hope to wait for, why wait for anything else?
Christians are hard hit by this attitude.” (Ben Patterson, Waiting, pp 12-13).
