Ever since North Korea started their threats of missile launches, the school shootings, and the Boston Marathon bombings, I have heard a lot of people expressing how evil people are and how afraid people are becoming. They have expressed their fear of public meetings and traveling. All of these feelings are completely understandable; the terrorists are succeeding in inciting terror in the hearts of the people. Fear is steadily becoming a part of life and that is sad. Fear is going hand-in-hand with distrust and revenge. This is very disheartening and is very scary.
However, in spite of the cruelty, terror, pain, death and every other negative and evil thing that raises itself to be seen on screens across the nation and the world, the one thing to keep in mind is there is still so many good people out there and there is still so much goodness. After the bombings in Boston, a nation prayed for the lost and injured. The city of Boston's residents rallied and showed their strength. People did what they could to show their support and to show their sympathy for the families affected by the act of cruelty and evil committed. The flags are being flown at half-mast and our country continues on.
In spite of the cruelty and evil, believers still prayed and pray to God, though He may have seemed absent on the days of the shootings and the bombings; families called loved ones to make sure they were safe and to show how much they love and care; friends helped one another; and people still sought and seek to give help and support where they can. The goodness in the hearts of everyone shines brighter in spite of the tragedy and terror.
When it feels like everything is being destroyed and hope is dwindling because it feels like evil is winning, I think it is important to remember that there are so many good people out there still. There are people who still see hope and goodness in life. When it feels like there is no point in going on and fear keeps you from living your lives, just keep in mind that the good still outweighs all of the evil and all the pain.
