Good points, Dari.

I see; Expectations. And, Yep, that messes with people. Always has.

I suppose that's why "hope" was considered one of the worst evils let out of Pandora's box. ....that is, Hope, is the expectation of a positive outcome when you have evidence to the contrary. (ie "I hope it doesn't rain" --because you see the dark clouds building)

A whole lot of people bought into the delusion of "Hope" a few years ago. --completely ignoring that evidence to the contrary part-- and now facing result of that ignored evidence to the contrary part. :-/
