Good question. I'm going to have think about this one. If I have an answer I will do a Edit Note later on.

After some thought, I feel that false hope and true hope is one in the same. As you go through the process of life you may experience some false hope. You then take the experience of false hope and use to achieve true hope. And to tell the difference you need to be in touch with the level of joy in your heart.
