Hope

Hope is destructive.

Like belief in god, hope works. That is to say that hope makes us feel good short term or better than that feeling of despair and nothing will work. Like belief in god, a larger perspective, however, is needed.

Far better than hope is the thought that there is no need to hope, that the table has been set and the banquet awaits. This thought, if true, is far better than hope. This thought, I believe, is the basic provision of a religion.
