such a beautiful read man, lot of neurons firing here between trying to understand hopeless/hope and drive
He shrugs, a slight sadness in his smile. “It’s a bit ironic. Hope is this universally positive word that can actually be a trap that keeps us from acting.”
from working with the homeless shelters, im in the boat where there is a bit of nuance and contextual difference between hope and belief.
hope kind of leads to an idea that an outside force is looking out for you and belief is more along the line of the actions I do will result in a positive outcome
I can hope things end up okay vs I believe things will end up okay in my mind indicates that although things aren’t where I want them to be, I must act in order to bring about the change I wish to see in life.
also appreciated the tid bits of history in here, anyways appreciate this story and thinking of how to use it to form an outlook on life coupled by action and accountability
also, this hit home because after a few irl shenanigans mixed with quite a few poor financial decisions with a dash of 8 months of unemployment, I was nearing a state of hopelessness and it wasn’t until I said fuck it, packed my things my things up and moved 400 miles away from my safety net of a supporting family and girlfriend of 6 years
deep inside I was hoping things would work out, some job would land in my lap, one of these coins would miraculously put in a few god candles but it wasn’t until I felt that bit of hopelessness, back against the wall where I said, ok, idk what I need to do but SOMETHING needs to change
