This word along with plenty others such as faith, believe to me are meaningless as they hold a great power of doubt. Personally I do not believe in hope or any other similar words and for the most part have destroyed them from my vocabulary because of its psychological effects that I have seen it do.
When somebody hopes for something they, usually subconsciously, imply that they're is the probability of failure. I live my life without these terms as there is nothing that doesn't go my way. When I say that I want something, I always find the way to get it without infringing any harm on anyone. It such an easy concept for me to deal with as it gives us really great power on our future. What do you guys think of this? If I should clarify something please let me know.

I stopped hoping a few years ago after analysing the fundaments thereof. "Hope" is born to "despair". both are interlocked in a hand-in-hand fashion. For instance - Your mum is terminally ill, she is in bed and unlikely to see the next .dawn, you fear the worst, but hope for the best - in exactitude. One drives the other.
Why does a person hope to win the lottery? To improve on their despairing existence - The more the hope...the more the despair. And so on.
I, like you, have no despair in my life - I love every moment of it...Come what may, and therefore have no need of hope. Those I know to understand this - are the same.
It also applies to pride, vanity, greed, sloth, etc, etc, etc.

Maybe there's good hope and bad hope. Good hope is perhaps an eros, a form of love. I hope she likes this gift!

I find it overly dramatic that you have to say hope is tied to despair, also to pride, vanity, greed, sloth, etc. Which I find as an overly negative projection of the word and concept.

Imo hope exist in our everyday, within normal persons, that doesn't have to be desperate. As I see it, hope is alligned with optimism, out of a posetive mind.

Pride is tied to shame, vanity to esteem, greed to restraint, sloth to dilligence - not Hope. hope is only tied to despair and is moderated by the spectrum thereof.
A positive mind is satisfied with making the most from what little there is.
Why would a satisfied person require hope??? this would imply dissatisfaction, don't you think?

Looking to psycology, I can't agree in any imagineable way, so no.

There are many psycotic and skitzophrenic people who has distorted and/or lack comprehension.

Some few parents will lock their children in their house, to "protect" them from all the worlds evil, because the parents are psycotic and does not understand their own paranoia. Often such children will become underdeveloped mentally.

Erotomans will totally disregard then chased person's discomfort and dismay of the erotoman's stalking and approach attemts, because of a selective understanding of the situation.

There are endless of other symptons of psycosis and sktizophrenia, but all share a distorted sense of reality, a narrow and simpleminded comprehension. Often these people can indeed be very intelligent but still have their huge disability.

This is why I can't agree with your definition, which I find utterly wrong.
