Do you think hope can be dangerous?

I think when left unchallenged, it can be. It's why, if I ever feel feelings of hope, I always find myself reminding myself of all the ways that reality could destroy any chance of the certain hoped for outcome. Keeps me grounded & more emotionally stable. Don't feel as outcome dependent. I'm a huge fan of celebrating when I know for sure that something has happened. I never celebrate too early. If I win the lottery, I'll celebrate when I get the money.

Not as dangerous as hopelessness. That can lead to mass shootings.

Not necessarily, as long as you have realistic expectations.

[genericname85]

it can be if you don't have any risk management for situations that may arise if your hopes don't come true.

[LazerBean]

Misplaced hope certainly is.
