I didn't say All Hope is False (in relation to everything) which is what your quote of me suggests. Only in pertaining to the WAS's position- until they are standing in front of you, etc.
Time and Gritter- what some people call "hope" is misplaced and foolish optimism, and they refuse to see their situation for what it is.
My advice based on my experience is now "Drop the misplaced and foolish optimism and see your situation for what it is"
"Hope is the thing with feathers...." -Emily Dickinson
