True freedom is when you lose all your hopes.

Qurat Ul Ain

Hope is normally perceived by the people as something that is positive in its essence and its so natural to think of hope as a positive thing but my perception of hope is quite strange and to my mind its like trapping yourself within four walls and not to allow your mind to think beyond the horizon. It restricts you to accept the truth and the reality and is a good way to become utopic.

Its an intense yearning for something to happen ,like you hope to become successful ,you hope to find love one day, you hope to fight your anxiety or depression but in doing so we lose our rationality and it literally becomes an ironic mental prison by its strong desire and mere intensity and the dominance of your utopic thoughts.

We all have untold stories and struggles in our lives and everybody has their own perceptions and experiences regarding different concepts .Its so usual ,when we are in the worst part of the struggle ,we hope so much for the things to just go back to normal but the more we hope ,the worse it becomes. Its like a weaker and perverted form of expecting something because the moment you expect something ,you are almost sure that it will happen and when you hope for something ,you don’t know it will happen ,but you would like it to happen.

It becomes dangerous when it compels you to fight a battle you can’t win and which is not even the requirement of your soul.

Hope itself is a fallacy and feigned imagination ,the moment you lose all your hopes ,you come out of the cage(hope zone) ,and you become free of false imaginative appearances and it sets your inner self free and encourages you to accept the truth.

( “My views are quite personal based on my life experiences and as a student I believe we should be practical and rational and its good to find hope in everything but we should keep this in mind that hope too has its darker side and for most of the people ,its like a holy grail”)
