Discussion There's always Hope!

[LuzurPhagget]

Yes. Hope... That mocking, taunting son of a bitch. Ha, jokes on you if you thought this was one of those empty, generic, bullshit, positive, feel-good, sappy posts!

But in all honesty, there is always that slight glimmer of hope. No situation is TRULY hopeless. But just because there is that SLIGHT possibility of things getting better, doesn't actually mean things WILL get better. Maybe it's just a chance to fail some more. To be dragged through the mud some more. To further add to my bag of bad memories. To further mess with my head. Etc. It's kind of a mean, insidious thing from a point of view.

Anyway, I don't have a date set in mind and I plan to go on as long as I can and urge others to do the same. I don't think me existing far beyond my past desired expiry dates have had that much of a monumental effect on anything (I don't think I'm responsible for the virus outbreak etc). I'll go when I'm ready.

And also, I've learned there are no absolutes in this life. Nothing is 100%. As sure as someone is about anything, it can only be 99.99999999 % etc and NEVER 100% (Correct me if I'm wrong). So when the day finally comes to ctb, I'll still be dying with that sliver of annoying-ass hope. What a life.

I like this post! I like how raw and honest you are. Very raw. Acid humour.
I like you! What made you write this post?

 

[a.n.kirillov]

What is hope? Can you define it?

Nothing is 100%.

Depends... You can be a radical skeptic about everything. I accept as a likely enough possibility that I will die, but who knows? Maybe everyone is abducted at twenty-six years old by aliens and replaced with a genetically engineered mortal replica of oneself, to conceal the fact that humans are immortal and are harvested as slave labourers in the oil fields throughout the Galaxy.

That's not out of the realm of possibility! Do you think the originals or the clones get probed in that situation? ;)

Sorry but no. No hope whatsoever. Sure, I could soldier on and continue to exist. To force myself not to think of the hollowness inside, just going through the motions. But hope? No. I'm beyond fixing. I'm extremely adept at keeping the facade but I know. Deep inside, I know.

Your post pretty much sums up the meaning behind my user name.

Hope dies last...a slow agonizing death...still holding on til the bitter (or sweet?) end. UGH!

The only thing that is almost 100% is when you do a DNA test and you realize that your baby is nearly 100% from your neighbor who was having fun with your wife when you were at work. Otherwise probability is lower.

I'd love to see some extraterrestrials before I go.

Hope is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

Happened to you?

No, just wanted to put some humor into a serious topic :)

Aw, that's beautiful! I'd probably HATE to hear that in my darker moods though lol

I know my life is hopeless. I've got to the point that I can't fake it anymore. Life feels pointless and meaningless when I think about the future I start to have chest pain. I know deep down that suicide is the only way to get rid of the pain and it sucks to know that there's no other way especially when I've tried many time for manny years and nothing works ever...I guess for some of us...we're born to suffer so that others can live a good life whether they deserve it or not.

 

[sunny.sativa]

I enjoyed this haha!

You sorta reflected on my cynical, comfortably doomed attitude like,"Everything sucks but.. who cares?"

 

[Deleted member 1465]

A heartfelt and astute post.

Almost nothing is certain.
We all exist somewhere under the normal curve and even that apple you throw in the air might not hit the ground if the meteor hits.

 

[Blackpoolbootz]

Always a glimmer of hope, what if someone had a brain injury that resulted loss of memory. But I get the point add some more to the bag of bad memories. Ruminations are a bugger

 

[InterstateFlowers]

LMAO

God, I love this so much. Literally brightened my day. This website is literally my saving grace, oh my god. But I really do love these posts and your humor! Thank you!

 

[Despondent]

Haha, I clicked on the thread and thought that it was going to be the same "song and dance" that most pro-lifers do.. but it wasn't

I love this read ❤ Screw hope in my opinion. I was such a hopeful person a year ago, but then I had so much hope within me and nothing got better. All of it faded away, and now I'm hopeless lol

 

[Worndown]

Hope is that optimistic part of us that is not burdened with reality.

 

[disabledandhopeless]

I like this thread.

 

[Arvinneedstodie]

we're born to suffer so that others can live a good life whether they deserve it or not.

Maybe that's it. Maybe that's the reason of it all. The universe seems to have a certain balance with everything. There is light because there is darkness. There is heat because there is cold. There is rich because there is poor. There is kindness because there is evil. So... There is misery because there is happiness and so on...

I hope this is true so that at least my suffering is not for nothing.

 

[truthseeker]

Depending on one's personal circumstances, for some there is no hope. Hope is great until it leads to nothing but continued suffering.Then it can become empty and meaningless, like someone saying "trust me, it will get better". Ignorance is bliss..

 

[Help_Me]

Hope is something abstract for me. Just a result of human process of thinking, something we create with our own mind. Yes, actually those pro-lifers right : there is always hope. Little do they know it does not mean anything will get better.

 

[Deleted member 1465]

Unfortunately, I agree. Wilful delusion FTW.

 

[Bct]

Nice thread! If there is a hope, I believe that hope means my life will be worse than this

 

[Mr2005]

I believe it's worse to tell someone there's no hope than there is. What do we know either way?

 

[a.n.kirillov]

I think I might have broken my brain today trying to define hope on my daily walk.
