To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic.It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty ,but also of compassion,sacrafice,courage,kindness.What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives.If we see only the worst,it destroys our capacity to do something.If we remember those time and places where people have behaved magnificiently,this gives us energy to act,and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.and if we do act,in however small way,we dont have to wait for some grand utopian future .the future is a infinite succession of presents,and to live now as we think human beings should live,in defiance of all that is bad around us,is itself a marvelous victory
