#oath of devotion
#faith has just dragged her hands across her face and gotten up off the bathroom floor#charity has just taken deep breaths after sending something serious but necessary#hope has had her face on the steering wheel of her parked car for the past ten minutes#and finally stands up to go in even though it’s hard

i hate pessimistic takes on human nature so much
saying humans are inherently bad just excuses you from doing the work to improve yourself and the world around you. saying humans are inherently selfish means there’s no reason to even try to make things better. and for some reason people think these are radical takes, that they’re being smart or philosophical by saying humanity is doomed - these are not new takes. you’re just catholic.
you have to believe that people are inherently good. you have to. why have hearts if not to love, hands if not to hold, minds if not to dream. you can’t ignore love. there’s some good in this world, mr frodo, and it’s worth fighting for.
