Human civilization is ultimately just a collection of patches and barriers set with the intention of keeping our noblest instincts in, our basest instincts out. It's certainly not perfect, but it keeps several billion of us relatively warm and well-fed (if not happy) most of the time. I'm not a god fearing man, so I have to believe that man's collective willingness to find solutions when evil manifests itself then to continuously sacrifice to help total strangers through these ordeals is what got us this far. I don't doubt that it's happening right now. Keep your hope strong, man.
