Using hope as a driving factor for acting to bring the change you want to see
For example: I hope to see better pedestrian focused infrastructure in my community therefore I act in a way to make that happen. I call my reps, I talk with people I meet about it, etc.
Hope makes you more likely to succeed, even if it guarantees nothing. All predictions of the future are extremely fallible, even hopeless ones. It’s no more an illusion than being a doomer who guarantees their own failure.
Hope is an illusion.
Hope is masturbation.
Act.
Hope is key to acting

If you don’t have hope, you have already lost.
