Indeed they are similar. Yet hope without faith is left to devices of material form alone. Perhaps strong enough hope is in turn the same as faith, for it does set the mind in a place desired instead of that which is. I struggle with it at times and forget what should be my mindset in either case. Thankfully when reminded I am quick to return to my faith/hope.
Thank you for stirring such an intriguing question, anything that brings back thinking of lighter thing as is appreciated. Take care.
