[ she's such a crazy person because she's so completely and utterly hopeless. it takes utter madness to keep one going in her circumstances. ]
It isn't backwards, you've just never seen the other side of it.
Living without hope isn't impossible, I know because I've been doing it for years. Though I guess It's a bit rich for a member of the undead to call what she does "living". Lacking it doesn't mean one stops trying, but it does mean she doesn't take her eventual victory for granted. That you describe it as a motivation is precisely what I mean when I call it a crutch, if it were then there wouldn't be much walking without. And perhaps that isn't inaccurate, but we at least have the bullheadedness to crawl. Because the odds will never be in our favor, and we'll need to recognize just how great a effort will be necessary to compensate. It means fighting harder, because there is no other option.
I can't say there isn't an absence of spite to it, but there must be some level of spite to everything. I get up in the morning in spite of the multitudinous reasons I probably shouldn't. When victory isn't an option, you can either give up or you can die fighting. Which do you really expect that you would choose, in my position?
