We tend to accept, too easily, formulas inherited from the past, traditions and education. We have stopped questioning because the daily routine fills up all the available space. We are too busy becoming and hoping. But should we formulate and expect anything from the future ?
Well, hope does make things better sir, because hope is the avoidance of what is, it is another clever trap of thought wanting to gain something. Hope only breeds conflict, contradiction and disappointment. It is the instrument of power-hungry authorities, in order to lull its followers with false promesses and manipulate them. They make them dangle eternal life and the continuity of their miserable existence. It allows one to invent gods and belief systems, or pretend to get rid of insecurity and fear of foreigners, and we buy that !
Hope is a form of belief, a projection of thought, wishing thereby to gain a pleasant and satisfying experience.
Despite what one thinks, hope does not carry any vitality, because there is no truth apart from the facts. A projection is never a fact, it is the skilful movement of a fleeing mind. The observation of what is, which generates a duality, a conflict, a tension : wanting to be what one is not, is a disappointing factor. To acknowledge the fact of our conditioned existence without fleeing nor justifying nor condemning is the highest form of intelligence. It is only in the observation that a right action is possible, immediately. And this action enables the transformation of the individual. No need for hope, you just have to do it.
