Hope springs... illogical

Fai: if hope is eternal, what is there left when there is no hope?
fuzzy: who said that hope is eternal? i don't even know what that means.
Fai: it is said hope springs eternal
fuzzy: right, what does that mean?
Fai: it means hope never dies
fuzzy: but it does, in some cases. like if i keep hoping that i'll see my dog by the end of the week, and then next week starts, then that hope has died, because it has happened and won't happen.
Fai: it didn't die, it simply passed
fuzzy: *because it hasn't happened
fuzzy: what if it did die?
Fai: it can't
fuzzy: or are you saying that hope never dies, but is simply reused for other purposes?
Fai: it has no physical limitations, there is no need to reuse it
fuzzy: once the week ends, and i haven't seen my dog, hope is gone. that's it. i hoped to see him this week, i didn't, hope is gone.
Fai: why is it gone? merely becase you do not dare hope that time can be reversed
fuzzy: hahaha
Fai: :D
fuzzy: hope is never gone, as long as we pretend that our universe is based on fairy-tale rules
Fai: sure
