Hey, do you know that there is good hope and bad hope?
I must be joking, you have to be thinking to yourself?
No, I am not joking about this.
As a matter of fact, I am going to share what I think about “bad hope” more than “good hope”.
That is because I have heard all there is to hear about good hope that it took me so long to wonder, get to know and accept the other side of good hope; which is bad hope!

Hope is a very interesting item to have in your bag
That you move with everywhere you go!
And at the same time, it can get really nagging, having it around.
It will not abandon you for a second; it will linger on in your mind
As you toss and turn from becoming hopeless, having failed at harnessing the good side of your hope!
And at the same time, hope can get you smiling from ear to ear as all your dreams get fulfilled in ways you had never imagined and hoped they would turn out!
Would you agree with me if I said that having hope can very well set you up for defeat and disappointment?
It is literally putting all your eggs in one basket “waiting” for them all to hatch like you want them to, without controlling some factors, as you, that could be responsible for the proper hatching of all those eggs!
We both know how bad that can get, right?

Which gets me thinking that bad hope or failed hope can seriously stop us from preparing for the worst-case scenario.
All our minds will be solely focused on hoping for the best-case scenario, neglecting preparing our minds for what could go wrong!
I read somewhere once that “hope can be a tool of self-deception”!
Is this something you agree with?
Me as me, I agree with it so much.
A question like, “Is what you are hoping for make legitimate sense or does it just make you more gullible?” makes me agree with it.
Need I add anything more on my thoughts on bad hope?
I would certainly love to hear your thoughts on bad hope!
Thank you! To be hopeful is to act and not mere wishful thinking.
👏🏿👏🏿😍😍
Hope is something that is related to positivity. It’s not that bad hope means we should think negative,. It is like we should prepare ourselves positively for any unwanted situations. Nice post 👍
👍👍😍😍
I believe there is good hope and there is bad hope. Bad hope is harmful and sabotages you. Then, there is also fals hope
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
Is hope a good thing or a bad thing? Is hope a negative or positive emotion? What is good about hope?
oh, i have so many questions about hope
👍👍 same as I!
This is powerful stuff. Hope is usually considered a good thing, but you’re so right. Blind hope can be so damaging.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
For me there is really nothing wrong about being hopeful but this still depends on how realistic are you hoping for. If you hope too much and not acting upon it then you might end up with failure and disappointment. Always set realistic goals.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I wasn’t really thinking about bad hope but reading about it, it clicks with me now.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I never really thought about this, but it really does make sense. It is all about how we approach things.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
I feel liek being hopeful is good but also setting your expectations realistically.
👍👍
similar to the concept of false positivism and I absolutely agree with your train of thought.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I believe in good hope and bad hope. Good hope is something that you wish and think positively, and bad hope is a vice versa of good hope.
😍😍👍👍
Man! This is a serious matter.Some people never recover after eggs in the one basket go bad.
We most of the times rule out worst case scenarios n end up not preparing for wat if…
😩😩👍👍
I’ve been conflicted with hope for so freaking long already. Right now I’ve come at a place where I’ve given up on it entirely. Im still doing good, i just appreciate the present more instead of hoping for the future.
😩😩👍👍
For me, I always hope for the best but also prepare myself just in case it goes wrong, I would know what to do next. This was quite a thought-provoking post and thanks for the share.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
There is good stress and bad stress and good hope and bad hope. These can be confusing to people but I see that you understand
👏🏿👏🏿👍👍
I always hope for the best. Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
