The reason for holding onto a shard of hope in this area is the love that exists. For all the fucked up abuses that go down, there is ten times more love here. Love is the driving force. It is a grossly misguided love, but it is fully present and it keeps me breathing. This love is mutually angry and hot, and at times poisonous, but it is here. As long as love holds a space, full dehumanization is not concrete. It may be a one-sided humanity, and it may need to change completely, but the energy is here. It is not enough, but without its presence, nothing will ever be enough.
