We Fear In Detail But Our Hope Is Vague

Paul Valèry, a French poet born in 1871, said that we are able to articulate our fears in detail, but our hope is vague. The reason is; fear is evidence-based and we feel it more keenly. We have seen and experienced the atrocities of this world to fill us with utter and complete fear.

Hope, on the other hand, is based on a dream and asks us to believe in those things that have not yet come to pass.
