hopelessly
Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, hope has to be maintained.
HOPE, HOPE HAS TO BE MAINTAINED
The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope.
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
