My faith in humanity is restored when I reflect on the French Revolution. Humans are capable of overthrowing those who rule over them and oppress them. Unfortunately, things have to get very bad before such action takes place to overthrow the oppressors. And the process itself tends to be unpleasant as well. But it does give one hope for the future.
