…in spite of everything i still believe that people are really good at heart. i simply can’t build my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. i see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, i hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, i can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if i look up into the heavens, i think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquillity will return again.
