A Lot of Good

Maybe I'm inspired by the good that people are doing in and for Texas right now, or maybe it's just that I spent the day on the coast, visiting battlements that are in ruins due to lack of use, but I feel like there's a lot of good in the world. Goodness doesn't usually get a lot of attention, partly because it's so common, and partly because it doesn't often get people excited, but I find it refreshing to occasionally take a moment away from the evils in the world and the problems we still need to solve, and appreciate the good things and people in the world. This world isn't as bad as it sometimes seems. Yes, there are problems, and we will continue to try to solve them with a mental resolve bolstered by an appreciation of the world's goodness, but there is also a lot of good in the world, and it's strengthening to recognise and appreciate it.
