There is hope. Every day, people perform tiny acts of kindness. Every day, people do the right thing, because its the right thing to do. Every day, someone somewhere rethinks a prejudice, and tries out an unfamiliar compassion for size; every moment, someone turns away instead of saying something in anger; every second, someone smiles at a stranger. That is who we are. We all want to love and be loved: to understand and to be understood: to tell and hear great stories; and to make better stories, with better endings, every time. You did something kind today, right? Even if you just texted a friend something encouraging; or did a thankless job well, because thats who you are; or practiced singing because beauty is part of the cure; or lifted your child above you to hear him laugh in safety: you did something good today. Thats who people are, thats the norm. Dont be discouraged. We have friends whose different religions make them kinder, better, and more socially aware. We have friends whose lack of religious belief makes them be better this life because its brief and love brings meaning. So dont give up. There is hope. Every second, every moment, every day, and eventually years. Because I have seen the face of love, concern, compassion. Where? Go look in your mirror. Yup. You.
