Sometimes it just takes the luck of life growing up. I saw a tremendous amount of the shadow of humanity in the first seventeen years of my life, excluding war and mass murder, but then I was lucky enough to enjoy a magical year abroad where the rules changed, I fitted in and wondrous things happened.

It left me with an inner certainty that change is possible, even if you don't know exactly when. It is just a matter of circumstances conspiring to make it possible.

I guess those that haven't lived the life I lived use 'faith' as a mechanism to believe that, since they may not have had any personal experiences yet to prove that it definitely can happen.
