TOO OFTEN


 

 

Too often, there are deaths.

Too often, there are murders.

Too often, we stop and stare.

Too often, people look away.

Sad, but true .

Human nature possesses an evil side,

which tempts us each day.

Its flipside offers us a way to achieve

purer thoughts and good deeds.

Which path will lead to a better world?

Too often, we make the wrong choice.

WHAT A FINE WORK WHICH REFLECTS ON THE FACT...THAT'S IT REALLY IS ALL ABOUT THE 'CHOICES' THAT WE MAKE IN LIFE. WELL DONE AND ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

It is in our nature to be attracted to violence. That is why violent movies and TV shows do so well. Many find normal life to be too boring. That is why most news programs seek out violent and unusual acts to report. But as a general rule, based on worldwide statistics, life gets better for us all as time goes on.

I have noticed that some news programs are beginning to highlight normal good things that are happening all around. My own experience with perhaps over a thousand strangers who helped me during my active life out in the public, without ever seeing or experiencing one single violent act, assures me that most people are living very good quiet, calm, helpful and peaceful lives. That is why births far outnumber deaths where that wasn't the case prior to 1900. Our big problem now is all the good people on the earth… Too many good people for the earth the handle that could eventually lead to violence over scarce resources.

How very true. This is what we have been dealing with since the beginning of time. May it ever end.

We should turn away from evil,
but many are weak today and easily influenced
by the wrong role models
