Saint Dymphna, mother of Gheel
Occasionally, and it usually happens when I start losing hope for the human race, something happens or I find out something which makes me happy to be a member of this species. The same thing happened when I found out about Gheel. Gheel is a village in Antwerp, Belgium where instead of institutionalising mentally ill people, they integrate them. So, rather than locking them away where they can't see them, they treat these people as the equals that they are. Enlighten yourselves here and here.
