of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness... <br class="">
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives.
If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do
something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so
many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act
and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a
different direction...And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have
to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite
succession of presents and to live now as we think human beings should live, in
defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous <u class="">victory."</u> <b class="">-- </b></span><b class=""><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Garamond;color:blue" class="">Howard Zinn</span></b><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Times" class=""></span></div>
