I want to talk about hope and optimism. Because people get them confused, and also get mad at others about them:
- "Optimism" is a FEELING that things will be okay. This is a feeling. It can be founded or unfounded, have a right or wrong ultimate outcome, but it's a FEELING.
- "Hope" is a PERCEPTION with two components: the perception that moving into the future is POSSIBLE, AND the perception that moving into the future is DESIRABLE. Again, perceptions can be accurate or inaccurate.
