High Hopes

Von Goethe said that "in all things it is better to hope than to despair." But what happens when hope leads to despair? Like when you just get your hopes up so high, allowing anyone to come along and crush them in mere seconds. It's kinda one of the worst feelings. I need to learn to keep my hopes low, maybe it would cause less disappointment. Sorry Von Goethe, but you might have missed the mark on that one.
