Do you realize how many people in today's culture are the good guys? I mean just watch society. How many thousands of drivers pass along a highway unraged? What would you guess the number of patrons who didn't cuss the waitress? Toss out your guestimate of how many excuse themselves if sensing they stepped into your path at the malls?
It is remarkable the amount of kindness and goodness embedded into society.
Yes, the media (including its ticker-tape at the bottom) tell of the bad guys. But have you noticed they have to repeat it for there isn't enough to keep it new? They'll repeat it for hours on end because there is a void of badness and a glut of goodness.
I'm not making this up. I know the government is working on ideas to serve our country. While they work on their various political plans...and I hope they work out....America is busy being the good guys in such mass there are hundreds of volunteer organizations already cooking; plus the zillions of churches doing what they should have been doing all along.
People serve people. They go out of their way; even sacrifice. Humanity is not a lost cause. Rather, it is a found culture. It looks to me like Jesus may have had greater impact than some of us once imagined. A ways to go? Of course. Failing the world? Hardly.
The good guys compared to the bad? I think they are outnumbered!
