I do believe that humans while inherently evil have extreme capacities for compassion. It was two boys, a gay couple, and they looked so happy together I couldn't help but smile at them as I walked past and they grinned at me. Yes, people are evil, but little stories like this remind me that they are also extremely Compassionate, and there is reason to put faith in Humanity. This is saying a lot, considering I am a very optimistic obsessive compulsive pessimist.
