One of the Protestant churchgoers expressed:
Code: 
  Man has to hold on to his hope.    
Without hope, you are in depression.
Why look at something hopelessly?
We are never hopeless as long as we have Christ, who is our Hope.
What do you think?
 
yes, I absolutely agree with this person.

Hope is a theological virtue, one we should hold close.

“1818 The virtue of hope responds to the aspiration to happiness which God has placed in the heart of every man; it takes up the hopes that inspire men’s activities and purifies them so as to order them to the Kingdom of heaven; it keeps man from discouragement; it sustains him during times of abandonment; it opens up his heart in expectation of eternal beatitude. Buoyed up by hope, he is preserved from selfishness and led to the happiness that flows from charity.”
