Humanity’s fears, when left unchecked, breed hate, engulfing both sides in revenge. This cycle of destructive infectious retribution perpetuates a never-ending cycle of humanity’s destruction, a cycle we must strive to break.

Fear is a primal emotion in human nature and the catalyst for conflicts instigated by manipulative leaders who sow seeds of hate germinating into revenge.

Humanity’s senseless, vicious cycle of wars and conflicts is woven throughout history to thrive in the wars and conflicts of today.

But, there is hope amidst the tumultuous chaos of wars and conflicts, with each generation nurturing a steadfast collective yearning for peace, and they are protestors with the following attributes:

*The enduring faith and beliefs for hope and peace.

*Protesters are the beacons of light during the darkest times of human conflicts.

*Protestors are the unwavering resilience of spirited humanity for their future.

Humanities hope is the current generation of protestors, who are the rebirth of hope for their future, following in the footsteps of early Abolitionists, who sought an ending to slavery that was unbelievable in the imagination of early America.
