| 38. It happens all over the world |
|
The human race has been the same for thousands of years, and nowhere in the world is immuned from bigotry, hate, and violence. I really don't think things have changed for the worst, given all the wars and atrocities that occurred in the past.
I am optimistic though, and believe the human race is slowly evolving to become more and more civilized, with the occasional setbacks. Every two steps forward, we have to take one back, like the events that occurred today.
Tragedies like this remind us that we still have a long way to go until we fully evolve. We just have to accept that we don't have control over the events that happened in the past, and we need to do the best we can to make the future a better place.
Like I said before, I believe good will prevail in the end.
