One Bad Apple

Does one bad apple ruin the entire basket? For the pessimists — yes. I, however, choose to believe that people are inherently good. I believe that it is unfair to paint the world in the hues of one rotten apple, because we all know the fate of rotten apples.

I received a warm hug and a wonderful reminder that when we lose faith in people, we garner bitterness. And that is really no way to live.

While greed drives some to show the ugly side of human behavior, I choose to focus on the good that thrives in the hearts of those that believe in our vision. Even today, there is more good than evil in the world. And the best is yet to come.
