Fair point.

My counter is: I don't think you necessarily do. A historian might have some insight on this.

I find false hope to be more damaging than not hoping but still trying.

And as to the why: because there are logical reasons to do so. It's the right thing. I think we might get into religious understanding here, which is a fascinating thing, you see.

And what are the logical reasons to do so? Maybe an that the changes you want would leads to a better future? One could call that hope.

Just simple common sense, nothing more.

If I can do something considered good or beneficial for others why shouldn't I? The other path would simply be egotistical.
