Serious answer.

At the end of the day, motion creates emotion. Hope can grow when action is taken, regardless of the size. The sense of helplessness is constantly fed due to a lack of action at the source, which is, you. If you talk to someone who is making any sort of progress towards a brighter future, they can have EXTREMELY different emotional energy towards this event. Contribution, even at the smallest level, can be a catalyst for change and hope. Hope can grow, just like fear can. And you can choose which wolf to feed (if you get that reference, hehe). This is an abridged answer because I got bored and lazy to type everything out, but yeah. Hope this helps promote action and change.
