If She Could Believe People Are Good, Then Shouldn't We All?

A personal story in the experience: I Want to Believe In the Goodness of Others
I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.  Anne Frank

 

I find it truly amazing that in the short and difficult life she lead, Anne Frank still had the faith that people are really good at heart.  This was despite the fact that her own government were killing millions of her fellow countrymen simply because of their religious beliefs.

 

If she could believe that, despite all the factors that would dissuade and discourage much lesser people, then should we not all strive to see the good in others?
