The Benefits of Hope
Hope is a positive cognitive rescue of the mind. It is an enduring feeling despite the presence of impending adversity. When we want something, we keep going, hoping we will get it in the end. It sets us off for an endless adventure in life that can only be truncated by death. Hope can blindly lead us to activities that keep us going even if it is written in the stars that we will never get what we are yearning for. They say, “what you don’t know can’t hurt you” or in some cases, “ignorance is bliss”. However, ‘belief’ is a hopeful benefit for the well-being of the mind.
