Well Davem, it most definetly is a matter of opinion... and also of the definition of 'hope' each of us believes in. To me, one cannot go on without any kind of hope. It does not have to be a logical hope, but deep inside, you have to believe. Yet it's a matter of perception, others will call this "Endurance beyond hope" and others will say it's sheer insanity.

Lalwendë brings up a great point regarding the "inevitability of death" and I can't really add anything to what (are you a he or a she?) said, yet I just wanted to mention I agree with you.
