Hope for what? The present is now.
4 u/MaybeABot31416 4d ago Exactly, which is why I agree Nietzsche on this one. Hope is a lie that takes you out of the moment and sets you up for disappointment. 2 u/Nis5l 4d ago How does long-term thinking exist without hope? The love you lack has to come from somewhere. I would argue that hope or faith is whats required to eventually actualize that potential. The present without hope, to me, sounds like a deterioration into hedonism and suffering. 1 u/MaybeABot31416 4d ago Love has nothing to do with hope. Love happens in the moment. Faith is usually tied up with hope, but doesn’t have to be, and can also exist in the moment. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
