Abandon hope? Sorry, I don’t get it. Misdirection? On second thought, please don’t explain the joke.

Trying real hard to wrap my head around this.
Is this something in the matter of Fight Club, all about self destruction?
Hmmm.
No, wait: Hugh is flirting with Buddhism! As long as you hope for things getting better, you are not in the state of ‘just being’. When you truly ‘are’, you are not ‘in the space’, you ‘are the space’. As long as you hope to be something different or hope the world to be different, you are just occupying space, thus different from the physical body and space you are taking up.
Ahem. I am due back on planet earth. Where is the coffee?

Hope springs eternal, that common sense will triumph over idiocy.

Au contraire! Surely as long as hope exists there is only marginal risk I shall be a complete waste of space? So if Hope does exist then I am a totally complete waste of space but not if none does.
So then I hope there is none at all so I won’t ever be a waste of space if a nanobit of hope happens to sneak into play. And the chances of a nanobit making it onto the field of play is hopelessly nil. So it will……….oh bugger it all to hell!

We often believe Closure in a relationship – as in meeting up with someone that last time to sort how you feel or make you feel better – can offer or give us peace of soul… does it really…?
I’m curious about this one.
far too true a sentiment 😉 howdy from soho!
