Backs Against the Wall

Human beings adapt. It’s what we do. Necessity can obliterate our hatreds. To survive, we will work together. Accept each other. The last few years have likely been the only time in human history that we weren’t at war with ourselves. For a moment we were all equal. Backs against the wall, human beings are at their finest.

Daniel H. Wilson in “Robopocalypse”

It is always wonderful to see when caring people will band together to show or give support to strangers who have suffered through a catastrophe or tragedy. It helps strengthen my belief in human nature, even in times when there is so much hatred and selfishness in this world.
