Do you have faith in humanity?

Humanity was born without a clue of what it's doing or where it's going or how it's going to get there.
But they are trying. They are trying as hard as they can, because even if they have been not one, but several times nearly wiped out, faced bigger threats, forgotten what they had learned and gotten distracted with several shiny things, they still haven't forgotten. They still haven't forgotten what the Champions of the World (Aristotle, Socrates, al-Khwārizmī, Ptolemy, Giordano Bruno, Galileo, Machiavelli, Mendel, Bayes, Dirac, Watson, Wittgenstein, Stuart Mill, Comte, Nietzsche, Hemingway, Dostoyevsky, Feynman, Sagan, Turing, Einstein, Hawking); and that's just off the top of my head) have taught us, even if most of them have been silenced, some longer than others, their teachings remain. Humanity as a whole might look bad enough to be hopeless, but it continuously, somehow, produces people who can not only push themselves far, far ahead of the rest of humanity, but they can actively drag humanity as a whole with them. Each and every one of them is Atlas, lifting mankind upon their gentle shoulders, making sure we don't stay behind, pushing us forward even when we don't deserve it.

All in all, humanity is hopeless, but it is because of all of them, the few i mentioned and the lots and lots i am, unjustly, forgetting about; that humanity is not only something to have faith in, but the only thing we have to put faith into.
