Like Groucho, I remain hopeful.
I will not accept melancholy despair, or irreputable
disillusionment.
There are people who want chaos and thrive on capitalizing on the
events that it brings.
We can and will overcome those that bring chaos into our lives. It
is not order that is the opposite of chaos, but generosity,
happiness, and love for each other that defeats chaos. I think we
are learning to strive again and to rise above the noise levels of
circular reasoning, rise above the anguish and fears, rise above the
bottom dwellers of hate and self-interest.
I am hopeful that the bell of justice will ring loud and clear to
help their neighbors rather than enriching themselves."

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
