I never said that. All I said was that I have yet to meet a person who
never feels any hope, who never anticipates anything, and who does not
dream. I do not know if such a person can really exist, as this seems like
a very dull, strange way to live. I was just wondering if this was
physically possible.

I have hope for all kinds of things. I live in hope, I think without hope
life would be very hard to live. I live with anticipation also, and with
dreams. These include everything around me. How could they not? Are not
dreams a part of life?
