Moving from Hopium to Faith
Urban dictionary describes ‘hopium’ as an addiction to false hopes.
I suspect the word ‘hopium’ might describe a sort of ‘lottery mentality’ where people participate passively in the ‘hope’ that something amazing is going to land in their lap, without them having to experience pain or hardship. That would be awesome, but typically when God gives us a vision for something we don’t currently see, we have a role to play with Him, in order to bring about the hoped for result!
I also suspect the concept of ’hopium’ could be behind the phrase about people, ‘not wanting to get their hopes up’. No one wants to be let down or disappointed yet delays and detours are inevitable enroute to realizing any worthwhile dream or goal.
It seems that in some way, it’s easier to rationalize away possibilities of good things coming if you don’t see ‘how’ something could come about. Instead, obstacles and negative consequences barreling down on hopes and dreams seem to trigger an emotional shut down of possibilities, so it becomes hard for people to hope for what they don’t see…
Worse, many people stop looking or hoping for good things because they don’t want to be disappointed. Instead of good things coming, they find themselves in an endless cycle of planning for the worst!
