¨If you´re going to be hopeless be truly hopeless, give up altogether.." Sometimes unreasonable hope can be a heavy burden. Amazing.

My Aunt, used to say " Those who live by Hope -Die in despair." Honestly, it talso ties into the Good Luck B.S.

Good video. "Hope" is no better than living in a dream ...and those who would live in dreams should stay asleep.

This. This is why I always despise when people say “we must continue to have hope”. We can’t wish for these things, we have to take action ourselves, and that’s the second most powerful thing one can do. The most powerful thing one can do is shed hope altogether and take initiative to be their own future.

Beautiful. As always, your videos are full of insight. Thanks for sharing.

Hope was a powerful force in my life, but it had to pass soon.

I was deeply depressed and even addicted to alcohol until one and a half years ago. I was not hopeless, rather I deeply believed that everything is in vain. Then people came into my life and things happened that gave me hope. It began to raise the shadows and erradicate my belief in the inevitable failure of all. I had hope that life without alcohol could be managable, and that possibly not everything is in vain.

But soon after that, I found I had to take the next step, because hope woldn't carry me far. I ritually burned hope, emptying space for faith. I came to believe that I can change my life for the better and actually become happy.

In the end, I am the happiest when my faith is even transcended by knowing. Knowing that by remaining peaceful, the Universe will always sort out itself towards balance, and that I will be happy with however things might unfold.

Hope is to pray. And nothing fails like prayer.
Another great video by this guy

Only a truly enlightened person can give up complete hope. But then there is no person left to give up hope. Hopeless is also a process of detachment with ego. You say that rather than hoping, try to change the outcome. But the outcome is never in your hands. Understanding this leads to hopelessness which is a painful transition in the spiritual journey. Because a person will only do anything only when he hopes. Even if somebody tries to change his or her situation, they are hoping that their action will lead to favorable result.

Faith and hope aren't the same to me. Faith means to trust. Hope means to wish. One is tao. One is ego.

Hope is what gives people the power to help themselves

Spot on. I despise hope because it’s empty. It’s right there with the line of, don’t worry it will all be alright. I can’t get people to reality where we could agree and effect change.

Unless you're not equipped to action your hopes but someone else can on your behalf. Nothing wrong with those at rock bottom, incapable of action, hoping that someone might take action out of love and through the very existence of that potential, providing hope for the hopeless

A placebo is not 'real', nor is hope, yet the beneficial effects of both are well known. In times of trouble, there is often nothing to do but wait, and hope helps us ride out the storm.

Your argument is rational and although I find evidence in my experience for your conclusions, I struggle to fully embrace the position of giving up hope in every instance.

I worked in health care for 32 years and have witnessed the positive effects of hope relative to recovery.

We are both rational and emotive and there are benefits of each. It seems dangerous and irresponsible to recommend giving up hope.

Prof. Robert Sapolsky of Stanford said in a lecture on human nature that our best moral decisions are dependent on our ability to balance our emotions and reasoning abilities.

Henry Miller said...
Hope is a bad thing.
It means that you are not what you want to be.
It means that that part of you is dead, if not all of you.
It means that you entertain illusions.
It's a sort of spiritual clap, I should say.

"If you want to change your life, you have to change yourself" Good video. Thanks <3

Jim Carrey said: "Take a chance on faith – not religion, but faith… I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire. Faith leaps over it." I say have the faith to just be the watcher of Hope and Hope disappears to the watcher just being the watcher.

Just wanted to comment at least once to say i very much appreciate your content brother. Thank you🙏🏾

[peejm]

I had a friend that use to quote, Zechariah 9: 12, "Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope...", all the time, as though hope were a good thing. I never believed this quote to mean we are to wallow in hope as it refers to us as "prisoners of hope". You summed it up perfectly again. You are helping me tremendously!

[animamagna]

Thank you very much, Nada. Your words hit me like a truck in my current circumstances.
