Hope is a Jargon
Politicians talk of hope. Religious and Spiritual leaders talk of Hope; the hope of a transformed world and so on. Hope is used always in a futuristic context. If there is anything in the future it is unknowability and that which is unknown or unknowable cannot be commented on. Our soul or consciousness is only aware of the present. Past and Future do not exist in the parlance of consciousness. Hence those who talk of hope, in many ways are misguiding us.
Instead of hope, one has to realize one's own potential. Spirituality should train oneself in the journey towards one's very core, the consciousness. One's we are able to subjectively grasp the science of consciousness, we do not require the jargon of Hope or even the need for a better world!
