Hope is the most painful thing out there.
Cynicism is the most evil thing out there.
The opposite of hope isn't despair. The opposite of hope is cynicism.
Don't avoid pain. It's a fundamental part of being alive. As the Arabic saying goes: The dead don't feel the pain of wounds. وليس لجرح بميت إيلام
Don't avoid sadness. Sadness is a warm emotion. Sadness is a fundamental part of healing, because allowing yourself to feel is a fundamental part of healing. Depression isn't sadness, it's numbness.
Your essential choice is therefore is between pain and evil. Between the courage to feel pain, and the cowardice of subjecting others to pain, of projecting pain upon others.
