| Resumo: | Faced with the harsh reality of death, human beings have often drawn a sense of hope from a belief in life after death. Religions have earnestly supported this faith and hope. As Paul Tillich put it, "Without hope, the tension of our life toward the future would vanish, and with it, life itself."In recent times, hope has also become a subject matter for psychology.
