Re: Hope or denial?
But in terms of wishing, you are not working toward achieving something but only wishing, which may eventually not happen.
I don't like to wish, but I hope.

"It was like dying a little every day. It was like being alive, too. It was joy so complete it was pain. It destroyed me and unmade me and forged me. I hated it, because I knew I couldn’t escape it, and knew it would forever change me."
-----Sarah. J Maas
Hope is something that fuels the human mind. There is something about hoping on something that doesn't pan out. I have experienced it, and it felt like my whole world was ripped apart.

Understanding hope as a strategic tool rather than a blind denial, one can harness its power for effective efforts while avoiding its misuse in futile situations. Balancing hope as a constructive force is key.NetMassimo wrote: ↑02 Dec 2023, 07:52 Hope can be tricky and the author clearly explained how to use it as an instrument to help our efforts and avoid using it as a denial of a situation that's actually hopeless or at least pointless.

Ripped apart in a good way or a bad way?
