The last bastion of belief I had in this place was the idea that it responded to attempts to improve it and no matter what we did in the past we could make it better for people now.

"To make a more perfect union..."

That was the dream.

I think the more optimistic a person is the more prone they are to going the exact same distance the other direction when they realize the nature of things. Whatever that toxic character trait is called that is what mine is.

There's a phrase/concept for it that I can't remember or find, and it's driving me crazy.
