There is a natural sweetness in everyone, that goodness in our nature that came to us from God with our birth. It just happened that a lot of us let the bitterness in life change their nature slowly as they grow old. Will that natural sweetness be restored? We don't know. Maybe when we learn to remove that bitterness from our heart. Maybe when we come to have a full grip again on who we are.
Most people believe that once people gain their freedom from oppressors, they became free. History shows that's not necessarily true. Our oppressors are not outside us but within us--pride, fear, covetousness... These sinful vices keep people in bondage using chains that no amount of uprising can break.
