The Next Question During the Interview
I’m not sure if I believe something
that most people don’t. I’d say I
probably do. A lot of things, more
than likely. But that’s not what I
thought of when you asked that
question. Nope. What I thought
about is that I believe in something
that seems completely eschewed by
the general public, whether or not
they actually believe in it or not.
But I believe in what is notably
seemingly proven wrong over
and over and over again by
individual after individual
that make up what we
call humanity. There
are such long stretches
of time in which I see so
much of this thing I believe
being seemingly proven wrong
that once, and for a long enough
duration, let’s say during the worst
part of my life, which would, well, is
easy for me to know when that was,
but we can just leave it at that, I
totally began to disbelieve. I lost
faith. To be more clear, I lost faith
in humanity. It’s not that humanity
little by little doesn’t continue to
try its best to prove wrong that
there might be any good left
in any of it. But something
did happen to me. A human.
A human that is good. That’s
all it took. And so I’ve got it back,
this faith in humanity that I almost
lost for good, or thought I had. And
for that I’m so grateful. Because
how many days might I awaken
and continue to be in any way
alive, believing no good existed
in people any more. So.
Who knows if most people
do or do not have this belief,
this faith. All I know is that
almost each and every individual
goes about trying to disprove the
good in themselves, and so very
convincingly. But I still believe.
