On “HOPE” - (July 8, 2018)
Thai Wild Boar Soccer Team and Heroic Rescuers:
“Dr. Jerome Groopman, Harvard Medical School professor, has carefully investigated the science of hope. He found that your brain pumps chemicals responsible for the hopeful sensation, which in turn block out pain and accelerate healing. Belief and expectation—the one-two punches of hope—release neurochemicals called endorphins and enkephalins that mimic the effects of morphine.
As a result [Dr. Groopman states], ‘Hope helps us overcome hurdles that we otherwise could not scale, and it moves us forward to a place where healing can occur.’ ‘. . . hope doesn’t directly lead to recovery, . . but it contributes to survival. . . .’ ‘Hope, I have come to believe, is as vital to our lives as the very oxygen that we breathe.’”
- The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life by Ben Sherwood, p. 318 (Trade edition 2010)
Fervent and hopeful prayers for survival of the 12-year-old Thai boys (Wild Boars soccer team), their coach, and all experts with "heroic selflessness and survival in their DNA" involved in the rescue efforts.
