The opposite of "giving hope" can be described as "hopeless" or "despairing." When someone feels hopeless, they have lost faith in something or someone and believe that their situation cannot improve. Despairing individuals may feel a sense of misery and hopelessness that can lead to apathy and withdrawal. Lack of assurance and conviction can cause a person to feel hopeless, lost, and unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. An absence of a sense of hope in life can result in depression and despair, emphasizing the importance of always trying to provide hope and optimism.

Famous quotes with Giving hope

• If you've succeeded in giving hope to the hopeless, you've (unknowingly) equally succeeded in achieving immortality. As well, if you've succeeded in enriching someone else's life or other people's lives. Then, believe you me, you've equally succeeded in achieving immortality. For, what it takes to achieve immortality is just to give hope (future) to the hopeless (the futureless) or rather to enrich someone else's life or other people's lives. Thus, do you long to achieve immortality eventually? If Yes then, endeavour to give hope (future) to the hopeless (the futureless) or better still, strive to enrich someone else's life or other people's lives as much as you can and as long as you live. ~Emeasoba George

• Abraham Lincoln was self-educated. His curriculum included Shakespeare, the Bible, Euclid and the Declaration of Independence, the monuments to the freedom of the human soul, the possession not of western man, but of a humanity compounded of all colors and every condition. In Independence Hall on February 22, 1861, Lincoln asked what it was, above all else, that went forth to the world on July 4, 1776. It was not, he said, the mere matter of the separation of the colonies from the motherland, but something in that Declaration giving hope to the world for all future time. The declaration gave promise that in due time the weights would be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all would have an equal chance. These are the principles upon which the Republican Party must stand, in 1996 no less than in 1860.
