The Art Of Our Thoughts

The thing about hope

There are two types of hope. One that is true and the other is false.

I'm obviously going to talk about false hope, because I'm cynical like that.

And also because ninety percent of the time that is what we face, false hope. It is very rare that we get to experience hope that got us moving forward and didn't fail us in the end.

Hope always, one way or another, hurts us.

Hoping that things at home will get better the following month..okay maybe two months...let's give it six months.. But still, a year passes and hope is barely there anymore.

Hope in people.

Gosh, that's probably the worst one.

People letting us down when we've had so much faith in them, so much hope, but of course it couldn't be true hope.

It just had to be false hope, and it always has been.

Is it crazy to hope for true hope? Or is that me being idiotic and naive?

I guess life teaches us, with time, and as we encounter so many people that get close to us and leave, it teaches us when to actually get our hopes up..

And when to not even dare have a glimmer of hope.
