Expectations

This really made me think:

At the bottom of the heart of every human being, from earliest infancy until the tomb, there is something that goes on indomitably expecting, in the teeth of all experience of crimes committed, suffered, and witnessed, that good and not evil will be done to him. It is this above all that is sacred in every human being.

~ Simone Weil

I suppose this is why it is such a betrayal when a government turns on its own people.
