A REFRESHING OPTIMIST

Most of us can look at our daily lives and find the people who are trying to make things better in their own little corner of the world. I do not believe that the urge to do harm is stronger than the urge to love and care. If that were the case, we would not be where we are today. I do believe that most of us need to work harder at doing the right thing. But I also believe it is inherent in each of us to know and to choose what is right. Our survival has always depended on people acting upon that knowledge. Just as it does today.
