Stephen Heder wrote, "The conviction that most people are fundamentally decent helps us to be more optimistic about the future and to work with others for the survival of humans, animals and plants in a cleaner environment. Belonging to groups is important. I belong to two local groups. We are comfortable sharing our feelings and fears. This helps us to feel less alone, and to feel more optimistic about the future. In our families as in groups, listening is more important than speaking."
