and I guess that’s just what hope is. Just an emotion we cling to when we’re in denial about the shit going on around us. Just something to delay the grief. Because hope raises you from rock bottom, but it always ends up dropping you. And the landing hurts so much more since you’ve seen what its like to float. And falling’s all about the landing. Its about hitting the ground, hard. Its only pain.

damn right it’s like why bother why try when u’ve kept on clinging to this false ideal and it has never come true like a game of cat and mouse whats the point
the opposite of despair. it keep you from drowning. it keeps you running. “the world stands on hope”. sometimes i wonder a lot about it. it creates the duality – the duality of what is and what should be. and i always thought that duality cannot work, but here i see it working. people hope something, and they get it. how can they get it when it was not the reality? they turned fantasy into reality! it amazes me very much and makes me question many “conventional” thoughts.
Hope gave D the power to go on.
Mathematically speaking, the probability that something good might still happen in your life.
On a personal level, it is like @quaero said the force that keeps you going and fighting for what you wish to be true.
When you say ‘There’s no hope left’, what you actually mean is the second one: You don’t have enough strength and power to fight for your dreams. The first one is never completely gone.
