Hope is always available all though we can forget to seek it once its lost
So, I'm not trying to shit all over the idea of hope but I have a little different take on it. I feel like hope is something one could resort to when you absolutely have no control over an outcome. You're a passenger on a plane. Sure hope this motherfucker doesn't plummet into the sea. That's something I'd hope for. There's nothing I can do as a passenger to change the outcome. But in situations where you can change the outcome.. personally I feel it's a bad practice to wait on hope.
Example: You're a parent, you say to your child "I want you to clean your room" and the child responds back with "Yeah, I sure hope it gets cleaned" you're not really going to count on that. Hope for damn sure ain't coming along to clean that room up. So you take an action. Tell your child uhh no, we're not gonna hope it gets done I'm asking you to do it.
That's how I feel about hope. If you have absolutely any fucking way to influence the situation and put yourself in a better situation.. why not just take those actions rather than hope something changes, right?
Anyway, welcome to STP! I hope your situation improves stsw
