I like your explanation Ayye, but I cannot change the meaning of the word « hope » in my mind to match acceptance and gratitude. The way the word « hope » was used when I was growing up- and still is in my mind – it is a disguised form of desire with no acceptance of the way things are. One hopes to have a situation matching that desired. It may be a wholesome desire but expectations are involved. It’s only a semantic problem,. I do agree with your sentiments.
