    Hope is the delusion that things will get better without our input.

    Hope is the drug which numbs us in the face of unflinching reality.

    Hope is that which wonders why the planet is burning after they put so much energy into believing it’ll be ok.

    Hope is the reason we’re always late.

    Philosophy aside, there has been no greater producer of disappointment in my life than hope. It has always left me complacent when I should’ve acted, it has always left me blind when I should have been looking for solutions.

    We don’t need hope, we need courage! We need courage to face reality as it is! We need courage to accept reality as it is. And we need courage to change reality into what it could be!
