The author uses the parenthetical clause in the passage to assert that hope is important regardless of whether it comes to fruition.

parenthetical clause?</h3>
A parenthetical is a short sentence that is not essential to the rest of the sentence but does not mean that it is not important to the sentence.
The clause of parenthetical are separated from the rest of a sentence but adds an extra information without changing the meaning of a sentence.
