Hard to remember, sometimes, that people aren't as bad as they sometimes seem. What's that quote? Human beings can be awful cruel to one another. And the only thing you can do, it seems, is growl and snarl and carve out a little corner of good, then hope it grows. (Or, you know, go out and hunt down good things so you can stuff them and put them on the mantle. See? There are good things in the world! I hunting one down and killed it, just to show!)
