What it really means to be hopeful is just to have hope against all hope. That is to say, to be hopeful even when a situation appears utterly hopeless. For instance, Abraham against all hope believed in hope and God that he will father a child even at a very old age. And eventually he became not just the father of faith but, also the father of many nations. Thus, you've got to hope against all hope. ~Emeasoba George
