blessed mourning

"blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted"

when i refuse to hope in an attempt to avoid pain of desire delayed or denied, do I also by the same act of will prevent myself from being comforted? who comforts when there is no loss. where is loss where hope never was.

I think the pain of unfulfilled desire is preferable to the numbness of no expectations. At least then, there is the hope of comfort should other hopes fail.
