Hope is free.
It is a line that we – me included – has both heard and used a hundred times before. But it, like so many other “words of wisdom” is a lie. Hope is not free. Sure it has no monetary value but we pay for it dearly with our emotions and our psyche.
We get our hopes up, and then, when they are predictably crushed, it hurts. My god does it hurt. And the more that we hope – the more that we try to be optimistic, the more we are disappointed and the greater the hurt becomes.
Compounded pain.
Maybe the pessimists in the world are on to something.
