Is Hope always a good thing?? I do not agree. Not to be pessimistic here, but having a more practical outlook...
When anything goes wrong, when anything does not happen, as we wished it would, when we are uncertain of the consequences, we Hope. But is this Hope an inspiration or just cowardliness ( in the sense that it is an escape to accept the reality on the desires of something better) ?
The famous saying goes as "The World lies on Hope". We always feel that the better is yet to come. No doubt that we all have faced the bad phase of life and the good is also to come, but as Human Habit has it, we see the bad more than the good, and also remember the bad times more than the good times.
It is good to be hopeful, but where is the limit? Why to hope for things which are not in ones hands? Being Hopeful is good, as it can make someone, do better than they would have. It can change perspectives, but it cant change ones LIFE.
If a man is suffering from some disease, he hopes to get better, but if there is no cure... then what??? Will it not affect the person later, when he realizes how his Hope did not bear any fruit?To all those people, who will argue that Hoping does not always mean to attain ones desires, to them, I say, then what is the reason for Hoping, if one does not expect results?
Hoping for the unrealistic things to happen, which practically are impossible, would be nothing more than Foolishness. Keeping such hopes high, brings nothing more than more sorrow, when each day makes us realize that what we wish to have is far away from reach.
Many times people, hope for the person they love to love them in return, even after the person has refused, but they still keep hoping, that one day, their true love will win. They still hope that the person will return to them after recognizing their true love........ such a hope, how is it for better? when its making someone suffer everyday?? Hoping for impossible things only making you suffer and not anyone else, and when we realize that it bore no fruit, then, theres only pain, which can lead one to take drastic steps.... and in such a case Hope was nothing more than added trouble.
As said earlier, there is a limit one should be hopeful about and not about things which are not in our control. You can determine your actions, but you can not control others, destiny and fate!!

Don't confuse yourself with hope and expectation. Hope gives us energy to work harder to achieve your goals. Expectations make us desperate.
Well.. thats what!! People don't tend to differentiate between the two. As I said, hope has the ability to make us do things better which initially we might not have, but then there is a thin line between Hope and expectations or desperateness, which some tend to miss. One starts hoping things which are out of ones control and lead to nothing but sorrow.
To hope is absolutely normal, because few things in life are CERTAIN, like birth & death etc..but for the rest we need to HOPE.. like for example you worked hard & hoped to achieve the scholarship, you were not sure that even after working hard for it, it would be achievable...So you hoped, this hope turned into a reality which gave you lot of happiness, similarly some hopes have a sorrrow ending... but life goes on!!!
i ma agree with guri.... we have to make difference between hope and expectation... initially hope comes with expectation... but when it will judgue on time... person who have strong hope leave away expectation... and got a proper way to live with hope...which is not in materialistic terms. look towards people like gandhi and their parteners in freedom strrugle... look towards the people who are strrugling for changing society.. materialistic people called them that they are foolish... but revolutionary are very much materiaslistic than these people. they know that it will happened through materialistic ideology which give...right to person live as human.. they keep on their hope and continue their strrugle for good society.. are they really foolish? or those people are foolish who think that change in society or in mindset of pesrson were not possible...? they forget that history of civilization is with change in thought and tradition... one day.. it will done not in exact term but in other form....
if love is changing with time is that real love?... love which lose hope and confidence is that real love?... what is then different between physical attraction and love?... always comes with hope that some one live with some one... share their emotions it not love in between girl and boy.. this thing include in parents and child, in between friends.. even in between the gay...or lesbians who wanted to live each others but society not allowed them.. if they lose their hope long time ago then new resolution not come to exist .. society not accept them as couple but law now accepted. .... why do u not take a point that every attempt of suicide.. or every suicide is result of the end of someones hope.... if those peoples hope survive may be their life also survive..
To Muphid: I agree with your first comment, but second comment, i do not understand as you seem to counter argue but your agreeing with my point at the same time.
We all hope to get someone in life, who we can share with, not always boy and girl, but love has many relations. I know that, but thats not what I am trying to bring here.
