Hope is looking forward with some confidence to something you want.

If you really want something, but don't have any expectation of getting it, you might say the cause is hopeless. People sometimes say they "hope against hope" for something that has almost no chance at all of happening: like winning the lottery, or finding more survivors at the World Trade Center.
