Which of these three qualities is the greatest, love, Hope or Faith?

Love is the greatest. Hope and faith are curses. Hope makes pain last longer and faith is bad when blind.

I would go with hope. Faith is for people who believe things without evidence. Love is okay.

Hope. It keeps one looking forward to tomorrow.

Paul’s epistle to the Corinthians on exactly this subject is worth looking up. It’s also a splendid piece of literature.

RedDeerGuy1 is right. Faith and Hope just keep this whole mess going

I’m going with Love. In it’s presence, all else will thrive.

Love. Always been one of my two goddesses (so to speak). Love moves people to care for each other and become greater than the sum of what they are apart or without it.

Hopeless love and faithless love are still love, and wonderful and worth living for (at least for a while), and can be valuable to have experienced.

Loveless hope or loveless faith? Not so much, at least not to me. They sound more like warnings of how not to be.

And what is there to hope for if not love?

What is there to be faithful for if not love?

Hope. Hope can bring on love. Without hope one is as good as dead.

Love, in its most extended meaning, is all that matters. Not just love of people, but all aspects of life. Without love, what is there to hope for or to have faith in?

Love. Faith and hope are pretty close to the same thing and both will let you down. Love is being content and ok with people, things and life as they are. We could all use a little more of that.

Is it a contest?

It’s quite possible to have all three at once. They’re not mutually exclusive. We don’t have to pick only one.

For what it’s worth, St. Paul says love is greatest. It’s the only thing he wrote I find worthwhile.

I say love. What IS faith, anyway?

Faith is not wanting to know what is true. Hope is a decent appetizer, but a terrible meal. Love wins not only by default, but because all our aspirations for a better world are only to be found only in deeds of love.

Not bad @Irukandji !
