It has always been dark and gloomy in some things and places and it is not possible that you can help when people do that and it can become even darker and gloomier, but every human being has himself the ability, depending on the possibility, to heal and order things within himself, to feel his sense of justice and to reflect, what one does oneself and how one acts and become aware and mindful of things and how to resolve them and indirectly or directly (which is mostly not possible) communicate to the outer world that it is not okay for people to be tortured, killed, injured, driven from their house and home, put in fear, wounded, that everything will be destroyed, imprisoning the people and treated from above.
Blessed is he who behaves as respectfully before his inferiors as if he were before his superiors.
Francis of Assisi (1182-1226)
I would add
Future-brightening is he who behaves with as much respect and awareness of his words and deeds before children and people where he thinks he can do so, as if he were standing before a person who can judge him himself.
