The Hope Complex

About the Substack

Finding philosophical, poetic, and human truths; searching for hope even when it may not be found; balancing, as F. Scott Fitzgerald put it, the "necessity to struggle with the futility of effort."

About Paul Rosewater

In search of moral, philosophical, and human truths.
"We held onto hope of better days coming, and when we did we were right."
-John Darnielle
