Throughout the ages, the concept of hope has been the main motivator that makes people get out of bed in the morning and keep their perseverance and determination during the most difficult moments in their lives, whether it is for a better future for themselves, their families, their countries or for the generations that will come after them. Hope is undoubtedly a powerful driver of human behavior. In his book Everything is fucked, Mark Manson explains the concept of hope and how this concept has been a motivation and a relief for so many people through the darkest moments of human history. By explaining the concept, Mark brings to our attention the fact that hope is fundamentally linked to the future, and that for so many people in the world, our present time is better than ever. Today's facts and figures show us that the rates of violence, racism, poverty, child mortality and war are the lowest ever in history. As a result, feelings of hope began to diminish around the world and were replaced by feelings of anxiety and fear of losing all the progress and prosperity that humanity has achieved in this era. This may help in explaining why anxiety and depression rates have risen in the United States over the past 30 years despite the rapid economic and technological development.
Bit to remember: In the most difficult times throughout history, hope has helped us to get up and develop ourselves, but it may not be the best motivator in the good times.
