When I read the stories about how something really bad happens like a murder or identity theft I always think to myself why is there all these stories about the bad things that happen in society and not the good ones. The same thing is applicable for doing good things. The only thing that appears in the news is when something horrible has happened or something touching or extremely nice has been done. No one cares about the story where someone lost twenty dollars and some kindhearted person was nice enough to pick it up and return it to the guy who had just dropped it.
My sister recently was at her college campus when she actually was careless enough to lose her id and one of her credit cards (I don't know how she did I didn't ask further) and luckily she was able to retrieve it from the person that actually found her and gave it back. It's things like this that happen on a daily basis. We like to cover the extremes of good and evil and attract people's attention with crazy stories and wow people with the things that people do. In the end good and evil doesn't exist to me. It's all about belief in what you do and how it's justified. In the war in the middle east who is the good guy and who is the bad guys. We like to say America is always justified in what we are doing, protecting liberties of people and bringing terrorists to justice. But what is it like for the Islamic people? It is easy to see clearly from one side whether something is good or bad but the true answer to good and bad things is to look at it from both sides and see how it affects both sides.
