Basically Good

"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in."

This a quote from one of my favorite movies, Second-hand Lions"
It sums up feelings of my heart that well up into my eyes. Hope is a basic human need. Whether things are true or not we have to have hope that good does exist in this world. It is essential to our lives. Without hope we become the very thing we have fought against.
