There are questions that can lead someone into both hopes and despair depending on the context and individual’s perspective.

Has god’s light led us or blind us?

"Will I ever find true love?" — This question can bring hope for finding a meaningful connection with someone, but it can also lead to despair if one has been searching forlorn for a long time without success.

"Will I achieve my dreams?" — This question can inspire hope for achieving one’s goals and aspirations, but it can also lead to despair if one feels stuck or hopeless about their future prospects. We should also be clear about what is “dream”.

"Will the world ever be a better place" — This question can inspire hope for positive change and progress in society, but it can also lead to despair if one is confronted with the daunting challenges and injustices that exist in the world.

"Will I be able to overcome my struggles?" — This question can inspire hope for resilience and personal growth, but it can also lead to despair if one feels overwhelmed or helpless in the face of their challenges.

“I am sorry” means nothing with no remedy and redress. The most frightening statement is actually — “I regret”. — 2023–10.12
