I Believe In Humanity

I believe humanity wants to be humane.
I believe humanity needs inspiration and hope.
I believe humans love hugging and touching.

I believe hugs are the beginning toward healing.
I believe humanity includes respect, cooperation, and love.
I believe love will heal most of the frailties of humanity.

I believe in hope, goodness and clarity. 
I believe in a human’s ability to see the truth, and to feel it. 
I believe in humanity’s show of faith, and belief in the world.

Humanity needs healing. We need to smile at babies once more, get within huggable range of the public, and just get back to normal!

We truly do need to get back to normal. This new normal is shocking to me.
