Im going thorugh a break up and I have had people tell me, not to get my hopes up for something to happen again, and others are saying..have hope. So I was wondering..what would you think is better. False Hope. Hoping that someone would happen and possibly be crushed if the outcomes not what you wanted it to be. or... No hope. A negative attitude but atleast if you dont except it to happen, you wont be crushed if it doesnt. What do you think?

depends of what you feel,if you still love that guy then hope that he will come back soon but if just hoping without doing then that is false hope.just give yourself a second try if your still willing to give it a try

hope is never false as hope just keep the world running.for me i guess i would stick to keep hope all the time as hope supports me to struggle for my dream. so hope is always true as it works all the time, in any cases, hope just can make things better rather than worst.

It all depends on how the relationship was from start to end. If it was a good one and you break up over a silly misunderstanting then there is hope if the problems are not fixable then there is no hope. If he is doing the breaking up ask him what is up and is this fixable if not you have the answer. Go on with your life. good luck

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about the break up. Between the two, I would prefer to have no hope than to have a false one. I think that false hope leads to nothing else but disappointment, unless a miracle happens. I would rather not expect and just be surprised if ever that miracle happens.

No hope, it's better that way. You are already hurt and if you're just letting yourself to believe in something that may or maynot happen in the future, you will just be frustrated and dismayed with yourself. I think that it's better for you to move on and enjoy life, try to be happy with yourself once again. If ever he comes back then it's a bonus.

i think. no hope is better. at least youre not expecting something to happen. if this would be the attitude, you wont be hurt or disappointed. at least its easy for you to move on..

of cos have hope is far better than nnot having hope. u might truely get disapointed when what u hope for never be. If choose to have hope u think of what to do make hope come real. From accepting to have hope, u will discover that adding faith to ur hope will make things happen. Not have hoping is not wanting to do anything just because u are afraid of making mistake. if what u haope of did not come real, u should not give up one day u be what u want rather than not having hope.
