When you are in a state of bliss, what do you hope for? When is a
crisis...same question.

That it continue. Although - it could get to be too much of a good
thing eventually.

When it's a crisis...same question.

That it cease.

If we become habituated or satiated to bliss then we hope for the
opposite since we notice change and ignore stasis as a result of
hazards in the ancient past?

Hope seems to occur within the framework of "time"....
refers to the future and what may happen.
Is "bliss" in the infinite, eternal "now"?

Hope is for the opressed, bliss is for the opressors.

I heard someone say about the people in a formerly communist country:

"A lot of people are actually poorer under the new regime, but now they
at least have the hope of becoming rich someday."

Bliss is a 'moment-us' occasion. no awareness of past or future. A "now"
experience.

What you described is the mind 'kicking in', which only deals in past and
future, where hope reigns.

Mind has only a perception of stasis, which is why it works in the form of a
sine wave.

There is temporal bliss, where thoughts are "cut off". The goal of many.
There is also a blissfull awareness "of" thoughts.
