I don't want to step into anything here, but this gives me a chance to reflect on the ambiguous nature of hope to which I think you once referred, Maxi, when you asked something along the lines of whether hope was a burden or not, and whether it was easier to live without (tenuous) hope.

I had a bad day the other day when suicide and I entertained each other.
I found myself thinking 'yes, it would be easy enough, I can imagine doing it, not so difficult'.
And at that time the idea came to me that there was no one who could or would help me.Well, it would be nice to have something intelligent to say about this hope business.
All I can think of is that there is hope that things will get better in the future, and there can be a feeling that things are OK in the present, and both can be covered by the word 'hope' (I think).
