A recent story in the news has got me thinking quite intensely about humanity. Good and evil, or wether a mixture of the two exist?
If Albert Einstein said ‘we cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings,’ where does that leave us when someone commits a crime so heinous that there is no room for forgiveness or understanding?
I’m not always sure where I stand on the subject either. Though right now, after hearing about this horrific act in the news, I’m more than inclined to believe that pure evil does indeed exist.
Maybe I need to remember the words of Gandhi and let that somehow restore my faith in human beings:
’You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.’
