[lojban] Re: Is there any real diffrence between hope (.a'o) and desire (.au)?

I believe that hope and desire are

1.human emotions 

2.can't be derived from anything else. They are semantic primes.

It isn't apparent to me. If you desire something, don't you hope it will be true? The difference makes more sense in between pacna and djica, but why do we need two attitudinals?

If there is a difference, is there an example where you might say ".a'o .aunai broda" (or something similar)?
