In a general sense, the world seems to have gone completely mad over the past few years. But in truth, the madness has never stopped.

For centuries there has been war, famine, greed, selfishness, and all other evil that mankind has chosen to do.

So, how do we cope with the turmoil surrounding us? Or even with the turmoil in our own lives?

I believe that the first thing we should always remember is that there is far more good in this world than bad. We need to remember that though the bad seems colossal most of the time, there are good works going on all around us.

The very breath in your lungs is good, and when some days are so bad that it feels hard to breathe, remember the soldier returning home to his children who haven't seen him in months, 

the mother holding her newborn after trying for years to conceive,

the fifteen year old with little hope finally getting adopted,

the terrified gay man coming out to his family and receiving the warmest of hugs,

the woman crying tears of joy after getting a huge promotion,

the ducklings all happily swimming behind their mama.

When this world seems to be falling, remember the good.
