I don’t like to be negative and to think that people cannot change, but I think it is a rare case when someone decides to turn their life around, move in a different direction and actually takes the time and effort to make the change and stick with it.

I’ve always been an optimist, and I like to believe that people are basically good, and the rare few who enjoy hurting others will get what is coming to them, but every time I hear about someone hurting a child or murdering someone over a minuscule difference of opinion, it becomes harder and harder to see the good in the world.
