Stop it!

Stop it! 
Don't ever give hope where there is none. 

It is the cruelest thing you could ever do to another human being.

Hope is a wonderful thing.

But only if what your hoping for happens.

When it doesn't happen, 

And you hoped and believed it would,

It will be one of the most devastating blows 

You will ever experience.

It will shatter you.

It will put you into the deepest depression you've ever known. 

It will make you question everything you've known.

It will make you feel alone.

It could make you suicidal.

It could make you homicidal.

It truly is the cruelest thing a human being can do

Is give hope where there is none.

Stop it!
