Perhaps you are mixing hope with desire.

Stop confusing me.

No, if I don't have hope/faith that something can work out, why would I bother pursuing it? I could have a desire for something but no hope of it panning out so I wouldn't act.

fayth? (getting shivers)


hope and faith are non-action things.

Desiring, wanting implies that perhaps you will do something about it.

I feel ther is a big difference. One leaves it up to chance, something else, fate, whatever. The other puts the onus on you. so, I prefer the latter. Hoping never has worked for me. Maybe it's from being disappointed too often.

I think we just define "hope" differently. When I say hope, I don't mean leave it up to chance, I think of it as following your dreams etc. and having hope that your actions will lead to success. So, I think we actually agree, but using different words.

The other puts the onus on you

I've never had an onus on me.

Is it anything like having an anus on me, cuz I've had that a few times.
