* Emily Dickinson wrote a poem about this:
-->"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
-->That perches in the soul—
-->And sings the tune without the words—
-->And never stops—at all—
-->And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
-->And sore must be the storm—
-->That could abash the little Bird
-->That kept so many warm—
-->I've heard it in the chillest land—
-->And on the strangest Sea—
-->Yet, never, in Extremity,
-->It asked a crumb—of Me.

** Taken to a literal extreme in the end. Amongst the evils in Pandora's Box was Hope. [[spoiler: It was inside Kratos ever since he used the box to fight Ares in the first game.]] Once Kratos' rampage is over, the world is pretty much destroyed (both literally and figuratively) by the deaths of the Olympians. [[spoiler: Athena, the last surviving god, tries to take Hope from Kratos, using it to rule what's left of the world. Instead, Kratos kills himself, releasing the power of Hope to every mortal.]] The last shot of the game is the sky clearing, implying the world will finally begin to recover.

Even when hope seems lost, people will remember what it felt like to live in their home country when it was free, and long to feel it again. This is why they generally never give up.

** All of Warhammer40k is a depressing example. But the Dark Heresy tabletop game places one single bright point within it. You are a human in the Imperium of Man. You live in a shitsack world setting so bleak that it is (in)arguably the crappiest of CrapsackWorld settings. [[BlackAndGrayMorality Every side is evil]], typically horrifyingly so, and the Imperium certainly counts. There is no real way to defeat Chaos or even the mundane enemies of the Imperium, not for good. The collapse of humanity into ruin, chaos, death and worse is only a matter of time. You play an Inquisitor. Your job? To hold off that collapse, and preserve the souls and lives of humanity. For one more year, one more month, one more day. One more hour. Your name will not be remembered when you fall. You will not know glory in life, or rest, or peace. But you may succeed in preserving your species for just that little bit longer. Grow powerful enough, you may even succeed in making things better for some small fraction of humanity. In all the horror and constant, borderline self-parodying GrimDark that is Warhammer40k, no other philosophy shines so bright as this. One single light in the dark.
