While words cannot always depict the brutality of reality, the emotions experienced never fail to paint an accurate picture in the mind. It’s hard to read about these stories, but it’s even harder to see the pain in their eyes. So many achievements with which fascinating people have enriched mankind, many more disasters have been brought upon the world by the same creatures. It is easy to assume that people are basically good, but it is an endless struggle to find all the causes that this assumption fails its consistency, leading to a more persistent malice and bigotry in the nature of people. It is people who wage wars, it is people who destroy homes, who speak of high morals and betray them in seconds. But it is also people who fight for justice, people who protect the truth and kill with kindness. If people are indeed fundamentally good, then the spark that emanates from those who are true to this root is the reason for the hope that, as in fairy tales, good can conquer evil.
