True sadness is in the recognition of futility



Sad little title I came up with. It's so true though, and it makes one wonder: is it better to give up hope on something and feel depressed about it, or maintain an unrealistic hope and keep a modicum of happiness? I've always thought of myself as somewhat of a pessimist, but now I find myself facing a failure and being able to do nothing but think "This will sort itself out somehow". Logically I know nothing's going to happen, whether that's fair or not. But another part of me keeps coming up with scenarios in my head where I meet success. I don't know if this hopefulness will ever go away, what will happen if it does, or if I even want it to. Just an observation of existence.
