Fear. Most people have this feeling where they run away from there problems... out of fear. If hope was stronger than fear, no one would run away.

And another thing ( yes im about to go historical on you) fear is what the europeans used to drive the indians out of thier land also people used fear in civil war times to keep the slaves from riding up and rebelling so as you can see fear is stronger than hope but it all depends on the type of person

Light conquers dark. Good conquers evil. Likewise....
"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (Deuteronomy 31:8)
He is hope!!! And He (hope) will never leave you. So hope definitely conquers fear :)

I dont have a direct answer, but if there is no fear than there would be no reason fo hope. And if there is hope, there is also fear. So really they balance each other out. This probably didnt help but tried anyway(:

bromine, i think you are alive because of the Drs. that took care of you...(.I know the usual ans.to that statement) God gave the Drs. the abillity to save you, but I think, the Drs. went to school and learned what they know. And you couldnt have been saved without the medical drugs we now have(Invented by Man) or Woman which ever.My husband 55 yrs old was diog with leukemia sept 2011. then i at 60 yrs. old was diog.with a differant kind of leukemia in Fer 2012 . before my diog. i was hoping i would be able to take care of Ted.But now we both are thinking how are we gonna take care of each other? But we dont just( hope )someone will be here to help us Our fear needing help has made us do things fix things and prepare to continue as long as possible. I dont think hope would have done what fear did for us..Now when isay fear i dont mean we live our life in fear..it healped us to plan our survival. hope wouldnt make me do that. what is sweet is we all have our right to use the one that helps stay well bromine

KathyRobinsonjr, you are right, men did developed medicines that cures. But where did their knowledge come from? And I heard that being positive and being hopeful when you're sick it helps the sick people to get better...that's what I heard...

Fear is more powerful. We all fear the unknown. When we are afraid of something we are capable of doing anything to do what we think is necessary to protect ourselves from whatever it is we fear.

i think fear.hope is good but fear will help you make a lot of life saving decisions..fear will help you make life saving decisions ! such as protect yourself, your family, your loved ones.. Fear will help you survive when others dont know what to do except HOPE someone will help them. I guess i feel this way because I now believe what science is proving when it comes to God,Jesus,Heaven and Hell. PLEASE i dont need anyone to preach to me this is just what i feel now. im 60 and have heard what most of you have heard all your lives. MY QUESTION! Why havent we seen someone walk on water,seen a dead man get up and walk after being dead for 3 days and was rottening seen cripples rise from their long term crippling disease..Oh well i guess this will do it. i do not mean to offend anyone by anything i say. kathy

That is a fascinating question! When I first read it, I answered fear. It seems to me that there is more fear in this country than hope. I believe that some (not all) of our economic problems comes from fear. Physical maladies can have a root in fear. IMHO, it is "easier" to fear than to have hope-even though eventually fear is exhausting.

Helpful (1) Fun Thanks for voting Comments (2)

Good answer...but I answered "hope". I think so many in this country had such high hopes and went beyond their ability to pay for the things they hoped for when the economy was good...now they fear because they have lost all and still have to pay for those "hoped for" things. Over-simplified I know, heck, I don't have the answer to our economic problems.....
Report as
Thank you msnino for the good answer! But how about you? Without thinking about the country, what do you personally think which is stronger? (Just asking don't have to be offend or answer if you don't feel like it =))

Hope is definitely more powerful than fear. Would a man take his life because he is afraid of what will happen to him, or because he hopes that he will be saved in the afterlife? Hope makes us do some crazy things.

Hope is something we make ourselves, in our own minds. Without it, well, life would be pretty grim. Fear is a natural reaction, something we cannot control for the most part. Look at it like this: we say "I hope tomorrow is warm and sunny".....not "I fear it is going to be cold and raining tomorrow." ...well, I thought that was a good example but now...

No its good because it shows that hope is only a reaction to fear.You are afraid that it will rain and hope it doesn't.with out fear you don't need hope.

Fear, even these religious peeps believe in it out of fear for the hope they don't just stop living when they die. Though fear isn't evil like Starwars might want you to believe it runs us all to live a more productive life, whereas the hopefuls stand around like Dodo's to die just for something they think might be better.
