By this reasoning, someone in a historically war-torn country (there are a few, you can imagine it's any one of them) should not hope for a peaceful time at some point. I think this is a good example of a case where hope does indeed work, even though the thing you hope for is statistically unlikely.
- mistermann 8y agoMore accurately, by this reasoning, someone in a war torn country might be expected to have lower hope levels than someone in that same country before it became war torn. For some people, hope is always possible, but when things are going backwards, a lot of people have trouble maintaining hope.
