Hopeful or Hopeless ?

Short notes on life experiences :

I could have used words optimistic or pessimistic but it takes us completely in different sphere of emotions or extremes of two opposite emotions. Being hopeful or hopeless seems to be temporary phases in life. It comes with real experience to learn how to use these temporary phases in life to create gentle movement.

Mantra is quite simple "Be hopeless when sitting high and be hopeful when sitting low". It works like "STOPLOSS" (from stock market) traders use it to limit their losses. We cannot control market movement but can control our losses by putting "STOPLOSS" at appropriate time. Very similar to life situations where we cannot control life to happen but can use "HOPELESS-HOPEFUL" combo to restrict life situations from being worsening further or loosing on which we have carved out till now. We could be selective in our approach like for new learning/skill one can always be hopeful. And depending upon situation for wealth it could be Hopeful or Hopeless.

HOPE (Hopeful) making some sense out of it.
