AYRT again

"Hope", as I understand it, is the ability to believe that the future (or certain parts of the future) shall be good.

That's not hope, that's straight up delusional. The willingness to assume that a more favourable outcome is more likely than the opposite is what gets most people through their day/lives when things go sideways, that's true, but I wouldn't call that hope, as it's based on their past experiences, and the idea that they can reach the same baseline they reached before (at the very least), or just sheer, dogged determination, to go on in the face of what appear to be insurmountable odds.

The last sentence of your previous post is what I understand hope to be. That said, I could be wrong, too, so don't just take the word of some random anon on the Internet of all places.:-) I think everyone has their (to use a poor analogy) one-paycheck-away-from-homeless moments. That's part of the human condition. The fact that we do go on, even though there is absolutely no good, solid, logical reason to do so, is hope. Or what I think of as hope, anyway.

O...kay. You may be right. I rather assumed it worked the way faith works (because faith sounds pretty "delusional", for want of a better term).

I may share ACD's credo. Hope for the best but expect the worst. [man, do I love ACD.]

Anyway, good luck to you! <3

ACD's credo has been my motto in life for as long as I can remember, and I didn't even know it was his. :-) Though I always say, "Hope for the best, PLAN for the worst!"

Sorry the rest of the thread got so out of control/over the top on you, and best of luck to you as well!
