You fear that if you lose your fear you will also lose your hope.
Or, you hope that if you lose your fear you won"t have to lose you hope too.
Fear is the anticipation of the bad, and hope is the anticipation of the good. In both there is anticipation. We all would like to be rid of fear, but not of hope, because we think that hope, unlike fear, is a positive thing; It is good to hope ,but is it? Hope only obscures the reality of the present, so we enjoy hoping.
Getting rid of fear means getting rid of all anticipation, and that will have to include hope . Rid of anticipation, accepting all as it is, all as it comes, there can be neither fear nor hope.

for my case, fear and hope never come hand in hand!!!
If I lost my fear, that means I'm stronger than last time. Hope is go with will and ego....never include fear.....
those include fear with hope always the failure
Many people sure have fear, you can never force them to overcome it. This will attack their normal health body system and harmful to their mental and heart. This is another examples, for cases like this, we should respect them and let them be they themselves. If they cannot conquer their fear, this does not mean they have no hope.....as long as we are human being, try to think of other solution in stead of force them to do they do not like it....this is more HUMAN!!!

I had a childhood of fear. I would pray and hope that things would change. They never did. After a few years, my fear turned to rage and I realized I had no hope. But that was then.

Yes hope is against the bad things and for the bad. we hope because we fear the bad.

Since fear is the concern that something unknown will affect you in a negative way, loosing it would leave you with "faith", which is something unknown will affect you in a positive way.
Therefore I would say loosing fear would increase hope.

If i lost my fear i would loose myself, and so in doing that my hope...
I say loose myself because my fear is what keeps me grounded, realistic and ensure i follow no foolish dreams.

I HOPE you stop asking non-philosophical questions in the philosophy category but I FEAR you will not cease to do so regardless of how it influences young people here to ponder pointless bs.

Yes, hope and fear are the two sides of the same coin... the uncertainty of future.

I guess that depends on weather you see a correlation between the two. Give your life to Christ, read the Bible, gain wisdom, and you will soon realize that the things you feared have no hold on you.
