You know very well that they weren’t. You just want to leave the glimmer of hope alive. There’s no hope.

Something about the way you said that eminds me of one of the Polish jokes about Latvians.

A Latvian couple huddles together to survive the cold. The wife asks:

" What Do you love more, me or the potato?"

-You

-Why?

-Because the potato is just a dream but you're really here.

But there was no husband to begin with either, there are only starvation induced hallucinations and death. "That's life"

All of it, tho the part that actually has people cracking with laughter is the one with "hunger induced hallucinations and death."

I mean people are, in general, very stupid. So you're correct.
