Hope is a lie.
Hope is simply a thought. It's an imaginary belief that if you think and picture something in your head that the chances of it becoming real are higher.
And that's a joke.
That's like saying that if you sit at a red light and picture it changing to green then it will. Regardless of the timer that controls it. Because if you think hard enough, you will fathom enough power in your own mind and creation to throw logic away and the traffic light will hear your thoughts with it's telepathic competence to change it's color in order to of course fulfill YOUR complaint. Regardless of all others who might've sent telepathic messages to said traffic light.
Hope is a joke yet no one seems to see the ironic punch line.
Hope is you trying to communicate with a material object, mythical creature, biblical spirit, or some other sorcery that has yet to have even it's slightest existence proven with solid evidence. Hope is a person attempting to interact with a figment of said ones imagination. Hope is you wanting to fathom all doubt and negativity into a small cluster of strength. Just one more false creation to fake comfort.
