There is always hope. In risky times solidarity is a common thing.
I amazing what people could do freely.
I had met incredible people through the years, I always told my kids I had befriend real life saints and heroes.
My uncle foundation was called "Vicaría de la Solidaridad", it was part of the catholic church but there were evangelicals, jews and comunists working side by side. They save lots of lifes.
Sometimes we are so selfcentered, pitying our cotidianity, that we aren't able to actually see goodness.
