Hansika says Hope does not implie despair.  It is evidence of the true spirt of humanity.  It is an understand that "the world as it is, is not what it must be."  Think about it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.129.123 (talk) 02:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed Revisions to Hope as a Psychological Construct

message: This page has unclosed parentheses and spelling errors.  Also consider rewording "believing that something is possible," as the sentence technically restricts hope to 'believing in an impossibility.'  The list of examples is a bit odd.
* I fixed the spelling and parentheses.  Still needs rewording. —ERcheck @ 23:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

message: In Christianity, particularly Catholicism, as mentioned above faith, hope, and charity are believed to be the three theological virtues.  A virtue is inherently not an emotion, but something spiritual.  I think all Christians would argue that faith and love are not emotions but spiritual graces given by God, which are accepted by each individual and hence choices also.  I think would be argue for hope.  If there are those that believe this view not to coincide with others' definitions than please resond.  Otherwise,  I believe the emotional definition be combined with a spiritual one, and also that the paragraph:
:"Hope is subordinate to faith, in that while hope is emotional, faith carries a divinely-inspired and informed form of positive belief. Hope is typically contrasted with despair, but despair may also refer to a crisis of faith, or otherwise an ignorance thereof. Hence, when used in religious context, hope carries a connotation being aware of spiritual truth. (In some religions, despair itself is considered to be a sin; see Hope (virtue))."
be changed, since it fails to describe the relation between hope and faith.  I would argue that hope is not subordinate to faith, but that both are equal in that one without the other is lacking.  Also, that hope is not emotional, but divinely-inspired.--Francis419jn655 23:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  On [[Irony]] 

message: I'm wondering if the relation between hope (a universal human condition, to my understanding) and the theoretical concept of Utopia being made in this article isn't a case of indirect original research. I'm also wondering if the Seligman reference, with the allusive reference to how he "strongly criticizes the role of churches", without any elaboration on how that affects the concept of hope as elaborated on in this article, isn't productive.

thread_title:  Bad Internal Link 

message: I think that we need to have clearly in mind that the notion of hope has at least two spheres of production of meanings and effects. 1) When it is oriented toward the future, more as an expectative, desire or projection in which there is more "passivity" if one can say it. For instance, the last entry suggesting that "in adverse situations, hope may be worse than hopelessness" is clearly putting hope in the future, as something that can be rationalized, expected, with "true" or "false expectations".
2) When it is not oriented towards the future, when it is rooted in the present, when it cannot be organized or based on reason, when hope is considered in this way it is more perceived as a possibility, as an opening, as an affect and less considered as a feeling. Brian Massumi says that affect-hope “is more like being right where you are — more intensely”. Because of all this I made the connection between hope and utopia, I think Bloch should be considered and his "Principle of hope" too. His project was to trace the roots of a socialist society, however, he showed the inter-connection of these utopian bits presented in everyday life with a hope rooted in the present.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rafuel (talk • contribs) 01:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the meaning of hope will often change depending on a person's ideology. For instance, if you read Marxist or Globalist texts, the word hope will often be associated to Revolution or the creation of a New World Order. Whereas in Center or Right-minded people, the word tends to remain linked with religion, personal goals and general patriotism. ADM (talk) 09:30, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This entire section appears to be a poorly-written advertisement for Mattox's book. I think the whole thing should go. Failing that, it needs to be moved somewhere far further down in the article befitting its non-significance, and needs to be re-written into coherence.

thread_title:  No mention in articleOfMiricles,per se, A goal of hope? 

message: In a study, "hope was found to be the second most predictive variable after
gratitude in predicting psychological well-being. Hope basically means that
individuals have motivation about the goals to be reached and that they can make
plans to achieve their goals. In this sense, it is expected that having a mission to be
accomplished, having the motivation to reach these goals, and making plans that can
help to reach these goals will make a meaningful contribution to the life of the
individual; and thus, increase well-being. In this research, when hope entered into
the regression model, it contributes 10% to the explained variance alone. This
indicates that hope is one of the important variables closely related to well-being.
Relationship between hope and well-being is one of the well-studied subjects in the
literature. In this context, in McCullough’s (2002) conceptualization of the
relationship between hope and gratitude, it is argued that people having more hope
and gratitude generally appreciate their past as positive and pursue more
meaningful goals for future. Besides, gratitude as appreciating others’ positive
contributions may facilitate the felling of hope. In another research on graduate
students conducted by Uzun Ozer and Tezer (2008), the results have shown that
there is a significant difference in the positive effect levels between individuals
whose level of hope is high and low. Similarly, in a study on undergraduate students
conducted by Dursun (2012); it has been stated that hope is a significant predictor of
individuals’ subjective well-being levels." <Kardas, F., Cam, Z., Eskisu, M., & Gelibolu, S. (2019).

thread_title:  Hope as a Factor for Psychological Well-Being 

message: As I read over this article, I noticed a lack of information about the religious perspective of hope. I believe it could be more developed. Perhaps some inspiration could be taken from the Wikipedia entry on Faith. At the very least we should add more information about other religions, such as what hope looks like in Islam or Buddhism. I am new to Wikipedia, but I hope this is helpful! ZoeyWill (talk) 05:18, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
