I think that hope is the act of continuing in the face of the truth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hope is trust in God's promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future.
Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.
But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence; the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.
Hope is the belief we might get it done, and faith is the knowledge we will get it done.
Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
Hope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity.
I think by now I have made it fairly clear that I am not very happy with the word hope. I don't believe in people just hoping.
And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else.
Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.
Hope is the denial of reality.
