Charity ParkersonHope is the most evil of all emotions
About This Quote
The greatest evil of all is hope. It can take you to heights you never imagined and then leave you at the bottom of the abyss. Hope is like a drug that makes you believe that everything will be okay even if it never will be. Hope is what keeps people going when they are so close to giving up.
The greatest evil in the world is hope because once you have hope, even if it is false hope, it destroys your self-control and you start caring more about yourself than about others. If you are hoping for something good to happen, you are less likely to do anything to help or improve what happens.
