Hope and optimism are different. Optimism tends to be based on the notion that there is enough evidence out there to believe things are gonna be better, much more rational⦠whereas hope looks at the evidence and says, āIt doesnāt look good at all⦠gonna go beyond the evidence to create new possibilities based on a vision that become contagiousā¦ā Iām a prisoner of hope, though. Gonna die a prisoner of hope
