You can spend your time always looking up , seeing the best in humanity; you can seek it out in yourself a million times and fall short a million times, but at least you emerge a better person than when you went in.
And yes, always looking up means that sometimes you forget what it was like when you were not as good a person as you are now, and that means that sometimes, maybe, you trample on the fingers of those one step below you, and you don’t always reach down fast enough to make it up to them before they fall.
But, I am coming to believe, it is better than the alternative.
Because I have come to see that there are people who do not look upwards to celebrate; they look down to condemn.
And they put on hobnailed jackboots.
And then they stomp.
