Each and every day and night
I so praise the lot of human beings–
when they direct their mind eternally to good,
they are eternally beautiful and majestic.
-Goethe, "Dornburg, September 1828"
There are more good human beings in the world than bad.
I will not be fearful of my brothers and sisters. Ever.
I will not become cynical or desensitized to violence. Ever.
I will cry when other humans suffer and when we create such evil works.
As long as I cry, I know my hunger for peace will grow stronger
and my life will be full of purpose.
I keep my gaze on the space between these acts of violence
because this is where our Truth as human beings lie.
I see what Goethe sees. Always.
