Pure Goodness

In the midst of the world events, I find it hard to be positive about anything. There are good people out there, but there are more bad than good. I mean what you see in the news is not news of good doing but about the atrocities committed every day. I hope that the world will get better one day. That is my dream. But the reality in front of me tells me otherwise. There are those who see the world will get better as the Buddhist believe, but I go with the other school of thought of the Christians, Muslims, and Hindus. As these religions believe the world will just get worst over time, then out of the blue a savior will come and make the world a better place. You can call that person a prophet or a social activist if you will.

What I am trying to say here, is that the world goes through cycles, there are bad times, and few good times. The bad leads to good. Then the goodness slowness dissolves in the worldly wants and needs and evil resurfaces again. Think if the modern heroes of today. Martin Luther King, Gandhi, or mother Teresa, they came as saviors to fight evil. But then look at the fait of these 2 men. Both were murdered in cold blood. That is why I tend to be pessimistic, but at the same time, I have hope, and I welcome goodness with all of my heart.

I try to do my part in the world around me. I know It is not a lot, but it is something. But not a lot of people do good. The good people have become a small minority in the world and they are hard to find. And I mean very hard to find. I mean those who do good just for the sake of good, but not for something in return. Pure goodness in rare.

Well that is my thought. That is how I see the world around me.
