# Hope?

All disappointments yield from expectations, expectations from hope, and hope is a distraction. You can't be hoping when you could be doing. If you're hoping, it means your equation has a component you either couldn't see, didn't see, will-fully ignored. Hope conveys impulse. Impulses aren't thoughtful, they're reactionary. Hope conveys you're not in control.
