Hope is NOT a plan of action.
The ancient Greeks did not consider Hope to be good at all. Hope was an evil. People in ancient times had a hard life and they could not afford to be hopeful of anything. They needed to be pragmatic and put their trust in tangible things that they could attain. Hoping for something was no more useful to them than hoping to win the lottery jackpot today.
The Place Beyond Fear and HopeT.S. Eliot describes this better than anyone, in “Four Quartets”:
I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
