One For One

Genocide. Torture. Slavery. Poverty. Rape. Murder. Abuse. How much do these words weigh in your heart? They weigh heavy in mine. Some days reading the paper makes my eyes blur and my heart cry. Some times I cannot comprehend the evils of mankind and our ability to do such injustice to our own people. It disgusts me.But I also refuse to believe that genuinely good people no longer exist. Call me naive but I believe there is good in every person. I sincerely believe that they exist, not because of hidden agendas or underlying intentions, but because they just do. These are the people who inspire the rest of us to be like them. They inspire me to believe that small steps can lead to bigger steps.
