Hi teachers,
Could you possibly help me by correcting these sentences if they do not dound natural to native speakers?:
It is better to accept sadness now than to hope for something impossible and much later discover/ find that the things you hope for /have been hoping for never happen.
You would rather accept sadness now than to hope for something impossible and much later discover/ find that the things you hope for /have been hoping for never happen.
Thank you in advance
