29 May Creating Triumph in a Tragic World

It is a sobering realization that not a day passes when we are not assaulted with tragic events that happen in the world. Some are natural and cannot be avoided, like earthquakes or floods. Others are the aftermath of decisions made by people who seem to think differently from the rest of us. Let’s face it: most people are genuine, kind, and gentle with good intentions. That is the backbone of our society and the backbone of this beautiful country we live in. Good people contribute to society, they pay taxes, they volunteer, they help those who are vulnerable. I am happy to think that I fall into the category of people who want to help each other and support our loved ones, our families, friends, communities and people we don’t even know throughout our community, our country and the world. We understand that life doesn’t always seem fair and we do what we can to help make life a bit easier and better for those who need it. We wouldn’t dream of hurting a soul.
