do you ever get tired of watching the news? i know i do…every day its the same thing…this place has been bombed, 85 people killed, earthquake hits so and so, 5 on the rictor scale, cops beat man who fly’s out of a car crash unconscious, man arrested for killing another man in road rage, this country is testing nuclear bombs, that country is committing genocide…the list goes on and on. its really quite disturbing, the amount of complete and utter evil in this world. sometimes, i just cannot handle it.
but then, i think about all the good in the world. all of the amazing people who are saving thousands of their fellow humans, acres of land, millions of animals. i think about the friendly neighbor who walks an elderly man across the street, the young kid who gives up his seat for a pregnant woman, the person who donates $5 to a cause, even though they cannot even afford that. it almost hurts to see these kind of compassionate things take place. and they are taking place all around us. the news doesn’t really show much of the good…but its out there…you just have to look.
in honor of all the wonderful things that take place in this world of evil…i am starting a new series, all the good news in the world. i’ll be searching for articles, photos, stories, and more about good news. so stay tuned, if you have any kind of heart, you’ll be crying, you’ll be laughing, you’ll be elated with joy. i’ve always wondered, if there were no evil, would good be so exciting, so comforting? would beautiful really be so striking without the ugly? would love feel so right, so life changing, if we didn’t hate? being human is both a blessing and a curse, but we have that wondrous ability to feel such a range of emotion. i think its time we stop dragging ourselves down with the bad. heres to the good.
