What is Hope?

We are told that hope is essential. Hope creates a narrative. It says this story is not over. It gives suffering a context: this pain might lead somewhere, mean something, serve a purpose.

What if hope is cruel, a voice that keeps you fighting for something that will never come? What if the most honest thing is to stop hoping altogether?

We will speak about whether hope helps or harms, whether life is possible without it, and what is left when hope is gone.
