GOOD

Most people are good. Most people kiss their pets goodbye and read just ‘one more’ bedtime story to their children. Most people visit their grandparents even when they have no time and stop by to check on quiet friends, after a long day. Most people give money when money is scarce and most people worry about people they don’t even know, day in and day out. When the world seems bad, remember, most people are good.

I suspect "most" if given the opportunity would prefer to share kindness and affection, or just prefer to help out another human being..? I would truly hope that more than just 50% of the population might feel so inclined unless having a very bad day...?

I also suspect that human nature dictates that we as individuals will ever seek advantage in varying degrees dependant upon our frame of mind, the culture we were raised in, the situation presented to us and whatever set of parameters utilised as personal guidelines to justify variations in our behaviour at any time..?

Justification would seem to define all...? If you consider one tribe of humans can corral a different tribe of human beings into an ever reducing area, while dropping bombs upon them, destroying the sum total of generations of that tribes efforts to build families, homes and businesses, while every other tribe on the planet can watch it all as it happens on their digital devices.... Kinda suggests to me that justifying standing by and accepting that is just a pretty normal process as one tribe seeks advantage over another, a process as I suggested above begins at the base level of the very nature of every human being......A process that I suspect has gone on since the beginning of time..?

On the other hand, I follow a very attractive young blond lady as she rides her m/cycle all over the world and would seem to risk putting herself in natural situations that are very risky over all sorts of terrain, and those of possible human interaction, that I would avoid at all costs, but she keeps on keeping on smiling all the while, a true adventurer who in the process seems to bring out the best in people..

If you care to beam up Itchy Boots and check out the countries she has ridden through you might be amazed...?

Give me peace and love every time, over hate and destruction.

Nice thoughts, but I wonder if Ms Ashworth’s middle name is ‘Pollyanna’
