A few days ago, I bumped into an old friend. I hadn't seen him in a very long time and we had some unresolved issues. I was very surprised when he came up to me and said he was glad to see me and wanted to mend things. He did. We did, I mean.

After having a long talk with him today I was filled with hope: hope in us people and our potential to be different, to be better. People can change and thinking about the world we live in today made me realize that not only CAN we change, but that we definitely MUST.
