Everything looked like it was falling downhill and it was. Housing costs were becoming ridiculous, but everyone thought that's a good thing, an investment. Every war was for bullshit scumbag reasons, but people didn't care much because it was "over there".
Arghhhhhh! I thought I was crazy because I had no hope.
But I knew that things aren't making sense and the reason for loss of hope was that most people couldn't freaking see reality.
That is a scary society to be in... It's like being surrounded by a cult. I suppose that's how it's always been in society.
But con-vid changed a lot of things. Now I'm seeing people doubt their cult leaders. So, naturally I feel hope in things.
I don't think it's artificial hope that they were high on.
It's a real hope that change can and will happen.
Thank you and others for helping people deal with their "growing pains" in this changing reality.
I disagree: I think everyone has parts that require some form of hope to motivate them in their sense of aliveness.
If I sit down to write it is in the hope that once and a while I will have some little surprising glimpse of beauty, though few and far between.
Hope is the essence of the libido and libido is the source of aliveness. Hope may open us to an array of objects. It is part of an unconscious process…
If it is attached to a fantasy like “everything will get better and better” it is problem. So then despair has a value also. Despair alerts us to the absurdity of a certain hope by dissolving it in its acid. Thus we arrive next at the veiled object.
Frankly I think it’s pretentious to claim you’ve abandoned all forms of hope, like you’re typing code into a computer having decided “something.” I dare say we are more fragmentary as beings.
Truly what I can live without, though, are prescriptions.
Why do people who don’t really know anything tell others what to do? What do they hope to achieve? Why do they always need to try fine tune? I did not ask for advice.
What possesses others to offer us these therapeutic self-help prescriptions? It makes me want to mute them.
And believe me I have muted many as soon as see they publish prescriptions. So don’t worry about that. I have that satisfaction!
Hope is way overrated
Way before and during con-vid, I had no hope.
Everything looked like it was falling downhill and it was. Housing costs were becoming ridiculous, but everyone thought that's a good thing, an investment. Every war was for bullshit scumbag reasons, but people didn't care much because it was "over there".

How about fuck beliefs too? The word belief by its very nature means something may or may not be true. What is this a frickin lottery?
