The Good

This beautiful planet is a home for several billion human beings. Every single one of them born unique, special, precious, and good. No one is born a murderer, terrorist, religious nut, dictator, greedy capitalist or politician. Everyone of us has so much potential to grow up to make this planet, our home, a good or even better place. 

And so many of us do. We take care of people who cannot take care of themselves. We share what we have with others who have less or nothing. We love others without expecting anything in return. We protect each other from harm. We gladly die for one another if necessary. We are there for one another, whenever needed. For friends, relatives, lovers, but also strangers, people we have never met before. 

That is our human, loving, compassionate nature. It develops and grows because it is nurtured through a loving and caring upbringing. Many times even in the absence of such circumstances. Because good is what we are born to be.

Let's not forget all of this while facing hateful, horrible acts done by humans, out of hatred and unreason, following leaders who find it easier to let their people die of hunger or fighting their wars instead of providing for them, grow and develop them into the humans they were born to be.

Let us focus on what is good in all of us and withstand those who turned against the good for whatever reasons. All good in this world, no matter what color, belief, or origin is so much more powerful than the bad can ever be. As long as we know that and maintain and grow the good in ourselves and others, the bad will never be able to prevail.
