It's clear from the myth that hope is an evil...
Yep I agree but imho evil is a heavily loaded word not to be used lightly and in my view it's a bit extreme to tar hope as evil, but the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche would definitely agree with you. In his book
Human, All Too Human, Nietzsche interpreted the myth by saying that
"Zeus did not want man to throw his life away, no matter how much the other evils might torment him, but rather to go on letting himself be tormented anew. To that end, he gives man hope. In truth, it is the most evil of evils because it prolongs the torment of man."
~ F. Nietzsche
btw, i don't mean to be so pedantic with all the quotations but
hopefully (lol) they are useful in elucidating ideas and such... they generally help me to make sense of these types of things and def have more insight about such matters than i do for sure. Anyway, genuinely hoping y'all are doing as well as can be.
