but having hope affects outcomes.
Proceeding with hope
makes more things possible,
may just be what gets you up and out the door,
making anything possible at all.
But hope is an illusion, no?
Yes, my love,
but no more than fear and worry.
They are all illusions because they are all about the future,
and we cannot know the future.
But ...
hope is an illusion that opens us up, inspires joy,
reminds us of possibility,
gets us through trial and tribulation more easily
(like singing in the rhythm of a labor-intensive task
makes it easier to keep on going).
Hope
leads us to more, better, greater things--
maybe not the ideal, the fantasy, even the very thing you hope for--
but more, better, greater
than would otherwise be.”

to stand up and do
to stand up and rebuild
to stand up and live.”

“Hope and optimism are different. Optimism tends to be based on the notion that there's enough evidence out there to believe things are gonna be better, much more rational, deeply secular, whereas hope looks at the evidence and says, "It doesn't look good at all. Doesn't look good at all. Gonna go beyond the evidence to create new possibilities based on visions that become contagious to allow people to engage in heroic actions always against the odds, no guarantee whatsoever." That's hope. I'm a prisoner of hope, though. Gonna die a prisoner of hope.”
“Hope and optimism aren't just attitudes, they are life strategies.”
