I will never despair, for I know that somewhere, out there, there is the person setting out to do good. Someone ready to fight for what's right, and that person will step up and change this world. It may be someone on this site, it may even be me. But I know one thing: they are out there.
Despair is a loss of hope, and I will never lose hope. For all the bad I see, I know that there is good. For all the wrong, I know there is right. You and I differ on this issue: I trust someone until I am given a reason not to. I also do not heed bad news as a bad sign for humanity, because negative news is the only thing that is reported. Although suicide bombings and beheadings are what the first five years of the 21st century had to offer, we can move on from this. It just takes a true leader, and it seems each generation has delivered one.
I will never lose faith in humanity, because that is all we have. Our humanity.
Whenever I read a story about some heroic soldier giving his life, I know there are thousands, hundreds of thousands others willing to make the same sacrifice for others. Focusing, and dwelling, on genocides and bloody wars will get you nowhere, look toward the sun and make the world better!
Good is far more prevalent in this world than evil.
These times are trying, but I won't let them get to me.
