And the people proselytizing despair get away with it because toxic positivity has been such a powerful negative force. Hope isn’t smiles and ignorance, it’s riding to the black gate trusting that Frodo and Sam are doing their jobs even though you can’t personally see them.
I like your take on hope. Doing your part hoping the rest of your battle group is doing theirs too.
It relies on trust, which there is also too little of nowadays.
