How often do you hear about having "hope" in life, in this or that?
The problem with hope is that you're living in the expectation of an illusionary reality,
which may well not come true.

Furthermore, and most importantly, hope takes you out of the truth of the moment;
meaning you're less likely and able to feel the subtle perceptions and nuances of the flow -
you're more likely to fall off the wave!

That's why hope, just as much as fear, is your enemy - the enemy of truth.

Can you be equanimous in the moment?
Neither in fear nor hope,
but completely in the moment, feeling the truth of the wave as it really is.
