To love in a committed fashion, over time, is to hope; and to hope is to impart value in an inevitably uncertain future. Both love and hope are extremely risky; a genuine hopefulness about the analytic process is not possible in any real way at the beginning but is something attained only through struggle; it takes great courage.
