The Futility of Hope

Let's hope for the best.Everything will be alright.Hope that things get better.I hope this nightmare ends.We hope,somehow,things will take turn for the better.

Hope.A fool's paradise.We hope only when we are having a bad phase.

I feel,Hope has being one of the biggest reasons for holding back people from doing anything constructive.Hope gives them a sense of false security that the bad time will subside and good times will prevail.Hope is life.BS.

Rather have a vision of where you want to be,what you want to do,how you plan to change the present circumstances to a more favorable one.Get up and start working on them.Just plain hoping will lay an egg on those plans.

Hope makes a person handicap.He ceases to act.He leaves things to destiny,'hoping' it'll change for the good.Whenever someone tells me,"Dont give up hope,such things keep happening.",I cringe.Mebbe such things happen...but what can I do to not make them recur? Just sit and hope they wont happen again?? Or sit up and take care of the conditions,to make sure such things dont repeat?

Whenever someone is depressed,the last thing I'll tell that person will be "Dont lose hope"/"Have faith,things will be alright"/"Let's hope for the best"/"It's ok,it happens.Dont lose heart,things will get better" and the like...! I'd rather tell that person,Fine it happened...now wht?? Either learn from it or keep paying for it time and again.

No wonder,my pals dont come to me when they want false pacification!Nobody really wants to do anything...just wallow in self pity ( which is acceptable at times) and keep 'hoping' tht God will have some mercy.Jeez!Let's hope the good Lord is listening ;).

Survival of the fittest & Natural Selection is what is driving the whole ecological balance.

But even than each species hopes to survive, no matter even if doesn't have any chance.

One more thing to add its the hope only that has made generations to survive

Hirdu,lets not confuse ambition n determination with hope.U can hope to survive,but lest u do something abt it,u'll end being extinct.

Generations survived,coz they worked at it..not coz they 'hoped' they'd survive :)
