" Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. "

Hope is a good thing when it is independent of a person or situation But having false hope with no meaningful basis on reality is dangerous.

Hope can make you weak as you're always dependent on the outside world to change. Taking actions that can be effective in helping you reach your goals is better than hoping to be successful without doing anything. Accept the world as it is and focus on what you can change. Don't keep unwanted expectations from people because everyone is busy filling their own cup and you need to do for yourself.

Hope is not a bad thing if you take proper actions and work on it.
