Friedrich Nietzsche

HOPE is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man.

1. noun 1 a feeling of expectation and desire for something to happen. 2 a person or thing that gives cause for hope.
2. verb 1 expect and want something to happen. 2 intend if possible to do something.
3. PHRASES hope against hope cling to a mere possibility. hope springs eternal in the human breast proverb it is human nature to always find fresh cause for optimism. not a (or some) hope informal no chance at all.

If you have a boss or leader who made decisions based on hope, would you have confidence in them. Look at the mess Blair and Bush made in Iraq - why did they do this. Its simple, they had a tiny piece of intelligence, they jumped ahead anyway, because that's what pseudo-religious people like them have been brainwashed to do.

Faith, Hope, and all the other sick devices cults use to manipulate people, steal money, build ivory towers, and give the kings their cannon-fodder.

Religion is the most dangerous of all drugs. The pill is taken by continuously jumping in feet first, and chanting "god save me, I am coming to you dear god, I am doing your work."

Of course, some people just want to be good, and can go-meta reading scrupture and believe others are doing the same, so a community of good is forming. But why focus on one set of books, attend one church, hang out with one group of people to do this? Why exclude information, why close the doors if the aim is to be good?
