Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life.[1|http://wiki.nus.edu.sg/#cite_note-0]
In a religious context, it is not considered as a physical emotion but as a spiritual grace. Hope is distinct from positive thinking, which refers to a therapeutic or systematic process used in psychology for reversing pessimism. The term false hope refers to a hope based entirely around a fantasy or an extremely unlikely outcome
