False hope is worse than no hope

[Darkover]

False hope helps you short term. You'll be motivated to keep going, but once you're rejected it'll hurt more then if you had no hope to begin with.

Hope has no place in your life, if you want to keep your wits. You'll KNOW everything will go wrong. You'll KNOW that it won't happen, no matter what you do, yet you still hope. You pray, and struggle in vain, and when your worst fears are finally proven true, you'll feel nothing but anguish and despair.

Hope is a dangerous thing.

 

[FuneralCry]

In my case I certainly have awareness that existence is completely hopeless. I see any hope in this reality as just being a delusion to lead to more suffering.

 

[WAITING TO DIE]

Hope is just another form of delusion.
I find it's better to have no Hope at all and just face the grim reality of it all.

False hope sucks. How do we really know when our hope is false, that's what I struggle with. I tend to have a fantasy world I live in which makes it especially hard to be realistic and with the accurate assessment of my situation.

I've been led by life to firmly now believe that any hope is false. 42 years of being abused, abandoned and in constant pain has taught me that, relentlessly.

 

[Forever Sleep]

True- the very worst lows in my life have followed being given hope. Usually in the form of a job opportunity that falls through. Now, I try to reign in the excitement at the chance of something- but that just tends to make it look like I don't care- which employers don't like either.

Just feels like we're screwed either way. I don't think you can imagine things improving in life without hope but I agree- so much of the time, it's setting yourself up for a fall.

I agree. False hope is just an illusion and turns out to be a lie.
