Sometimes the world seems like a scary, evil place. Sometimes we don't understand life.... or people. But I think it's important to put it in perspective...it is one piece of life. There is still beauty, there is still laughter, there is still kindness, there are still little miracles of life. If we concentrate on the bad...the horrific...then we allow it to win. We allow it to rule out world. I would rather let love win, let beauty win, let wonder win. let love win. I would rather wake up each morning and strive to make my corner of the world a little better. I would rather go to bed at night thinking not of what went wrong...but of what went right...and what I can do tomorrow to be a better person and make this world a better place. I would rather turn my head to the sunshine and away from the shadows.
"The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. and though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater."
~ J.R.R. Tolkien
