    Or, hope and fear/despair are two sides of the same coin.

    Yes, and both only produce anxiety - either in despairing over what might happen, or hoping over what might not.

    It can be difficult to explain why you doing orient your life around something like hope though.

    If I understand what you mean, I disagree. Orient your life around something rational. Planning will do you better than hoping, any day of the week.

      Typo in my second sentence made it harder to understand.

      All I meant was hope is often considered a universal good. Trying to explain why that isn’t the case goes against years of programming for most people.
