Growing Good

I have been assigned the task of writing a paper about "the world's nicest prison," a prison that seeks to reform prisoners, not by punishing the evil out of them, but by teaching them how to be good. I think that's extremely wholesome. The world needs more good in it, and not just less evil. Merely destroying evil is positive in some ways, but negative in others. It's also good to promote and nurture that which is good.

No person is pure evil. There is some good in everyone. I admire those who seek to find the good in people and who help that good to grow.
