How Come Need Hope?

Da young boy Daniel, da one we wen talk about earlier, if he neva lose hope you tink he would of beat da cancer? You tink he would still be alive today? Even da guys dat full on believe in hope, even dey no would go dat far az fo say dat. So da point iz, you no can say hope goin cure erytin.

CBS News wen intahview one doctor, Dr. Nathan Cherney, an he wen talk about how no good make like hope goin fix erytin fo da guys who stay supa sick. He tell ‘get times wen husbans dey get all nutz wit dea wives an dey scoldin um tellin um eh you guys not tryin hard enuff fo be positive.’ Den he wen tell ‘Iz wrong fo tink you can control yoa sickness jus from good thoughts, cuz den wen peopo not gettin betta das like sayin dass dea fault, an das one bulai.’

Da guys who stay fightin fo stay alive cuz dey supa sick, dey awready goin all out, so da guys dat love dem, dey no like make um moa hard fo dem an make um feel guilty. But den so wat, dat mean hope no can do anytin?

No das not true. Da doctor dat we was talkin about earlier, he help da kine peopo who no goin get betta fo no have pain while dey stay goin thru um. Dose kine doctors dey believe dat tinkin good does help even da guys who not goin get betta.

Hope Can Kokua

One guy who write about medical kine stuff, Dr. W. Gifford-Jones, wen tell ‘hope get da powa fo heal.’ He wen check out diffren kine studies of how iz supa importan fo be dea fo peopo fo give dem emotional kine support befo dey mahke. Dis can kokua peopo fo have hope an tink good kine thoughts. One 1989 study wen show dat da guys who get dis kokua, dey live moa long. But moa recent kine studies say dat we donno fo shua. But studies wen show dat da guys who wen get dis kine emotional support dey wen get less depressed an less pain den da guys who neva have um.

Try tink about one study dat focus on how tinkin good about life o being one downer wen come to life affeck da heart an heart disease. In dat study had 1,300 guys dat dey wen spock out real good fo see if dey view life good o dey view um bad. 10 years layta, outa dose guys 160 of dem had some kine heart disease an mos of dem wuz da guys who wen tink bad about life. Laura Kubzansky, one doctor from one medical school, wen tell ‘dis iz da firs study dat science show fo shua dat tinkin good iz good fo yoa heart.’

Some studies wen show dat da guys who view dea health wuz good wen do moa betta afta surgery den da guys who wen tink dea health wuz bad. Even livin moa long stay connected to tinkin good. One odda study wen show how makule guys wuz affected by dea view of dem gettin ol. Wen makule guys wuz shown stuff dat wen say, wen you get moa old you come moa akamai, dat wen make dem feel moa good an give dem mana. Wuz so good fo dem, wuz like dey wen exercise three months straight!

So how come tinkin good an havin hope stay good fo oua health? Scientists an doctors dey donno da body an da mind good enuff fo know fo shua. Still yet da guys who wen study um plenny can make good guesses from all da stuff dey wen find out. One guy who teach about da brain an da nerves wen tell ‘wen you get hope an wen you happy, dat make you feel good inside. An wen you happy you no moa stress. An wen you no moa stress dass good fo yoa body. Dass jus one moa ting you can do fo stay healthy.’

Da guys who study all dis kine stuff, dis iz all new an blow dea mind, but fo guys who study da Bible dis iz nottin new. 3,000 years ago God had tell akamai King Solomon to tell dis “Wen you feel jalike you like dance an sing inside, Dass good medicine fo yoa body. But wen you stay sad inside, Jalike yoa body all jam up.” (Wat Da Smart Guys Tell 17:22) Make sense ah? Da verse no say dat cuz you happy dat goin cure erytin. But da ting say dat iz like good medicine fo yoa body.

So can say dat if hope wuz one medicine den garanz doctors would give um to erybody. But hope can do way moa den jus make oua health moa betta.

Tinkin Good, Tinkin Bad, An Yoa Life

Research guys wen find dat tinkin good help in plenny ways. Peopo do betta at school, at work, an even in sports. Had one study of one wahine track team. Da coaches wen figga out how athletic each wahine wuz, an den dey wen aks dem ‘how good you tink you guys goin do in one race?’ Da wahines dat wen tink dey wuz goin do good did betta den wat da coaches thought dey wuz goin do. So how come hope affeck us lidat?

Can learn plenny from da guys who negative an no tink good. One experiment ova 50 years ago wen show dat animals an humans can learn fo no have hope. Dey wen do one test on some guys an dey had fo lissen to some irritating noises. An dey told um you can stop um if you press da right buttons. Dey wen do um.

Had one secon group an dey wen tell dem guys da same ting but dey wen set um up dat no matta wat dey wen do wit dose buttons wazzin goin work. Plenny of dose guys in dat secon group wen feel like “ah kill fight dis”. Layta on dey wen test dese guys again an dese guys neva like try do anytin. Dey wen figga “fo nottin”. In dat same group had guys dat wen tink positive, an dey neva give up tryin.

Dr. Martin Seligman, who wen help make some of da tests we wen talk about earlier, he wen make um his job fo study negative kine tinkin an positive kine tinkin. He wen study about why peopo tink dey no can do nottin. He wen figga, dat kine bad tinkin stop peopo from doin plenny stuff in life. Dr Seligman wen say dis, ‘25 years I wen study dis kine stuff dat da guys who tink negative wen bad stuff happen. Dey tink iz dea fault an no matta wat dey do dey tink bad stuff goin keep happenin to dem. Now I know fo shua dat da guys who tink negative, moa bad stuff goin happen to dem den da guys who tink positive.

Like we wen say earlier, fo some peopo all dis iz new. But fo guys dat study da Bible dis iz nottin new. In Wat Da Smart Guys Tell 24:10 it say dat “if you lose fight” you not goin feel strong! So da Bible show dat wen we tink negative, an wen we feel down, we not goin have da powa fo do anytin. So wat you can do den fo fight agains tinkin bad an fo get moa hope in yoa life?
