With or without hope, things are going to happen ... or not. Hope does not influence an outcome.

Faith is a firm belief or complete trust in something or someone, often grounded in the present or past. It treats unseen or past facts as absolute truth and drives action.

Hope is an just optimistic desire or anticipation focused entirely on the future. It looks forward to something good happening, but it can sometimes carry a sense of uncertainty or waiting.

When nobody has the ability to control an outcome, hope is futile. Faith is the only recourse other than despair or total abandonment.
