I never cease being amazed at the man's inhumanity to man. The cruelty we show each other as a race (the human race) is beyond belief at times. We hear about all the horrible things human being do to each other. More than half the television shows are about people murdering, raping, kidnapping, etc. and 90% of the nightly news is taken up by the same kinds of reports. It is very easy to let yourself be depressed by all the bad news and horrible things we see, read, and hear.
The flip side of that coin is what I have been witnessing the last few hours. I have seen a call go out for help for a friend in our community who is in need and that call has been answered over and over. Money has been pledged for immediate help and for monthly help. Labor has been promised for work that needs to be done. Friends are rallying around someone who is in need. The person in need has never asked for help. An earthly angel saw the need and instead of saying, "Someone ought to help," said instead, "I will help," and then sent out the call to others to help as well. That's all it took. People are standing in line to help.
Now, aren't humans strange creatures? I'm glad I know the humans who are good and caring, instead of those who do evil to others. I guess maybe there is hope for us after all.
