    Good deeds don't get ratings, the world is full of good but we don't report it cause it's the accepted norm. The Sun is always shining even when dark clouds pass by, the Sun is still staying strong even though we don't see the light at times.

    Well said darling...and so, we carry on with our tiny candles of hope, bringing light into the future darkness of ignorance and uncertainty.

    Very well said.TFS!!

    I am lucky to get to see and experience the good in people everyday as I work managing volunteers at my local hospital. The sheer selflessness and generosity of others is very humbling!!

    I saw this and while I pray and grieve for the victims in Boston, I don't agree with his premise. History is replete with times where evil outnumbered good, and held on for quite some time, and the progress of man was halted, and civilization went backwards. I hope we are not entering such a time frame in history.

    The best comedians are the ones that make you think. This is why Jon Stewart, Louis CK and the others are so amazing!

You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.” ~Mr. Fred Rogers

    I have a friend from the area in Isreal that is constantly being fought over and she says it is nothing like they report. She had a good friend that was a rabbi and many people get along despite their religious beliefs and what the press conjurs up.
