In our grief over the torture issue, let us not forget the best in humanity still exists, and for many, they feel the light of their higher power in their hearts, helping them to have hope in the future. Let us understand that the future is not predetermined, nor do the powerful have all power over our hearts and souls. We create the future, and the best in humanity every day with our work and promise. Let us promise to ourselves, and some to their higher beings, that we will not lose hope in dark times, and in happier times, we will not lose the will to work hard to create a better future for our future selves, the children of society, and the descendants of the humans of today. Our resolve should not be dimmed by failure or blunted by victory. A long time ago, someone said before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water, after enlightenment, chop wood, carry water, and we should think the same.
