I actually have huge misgivings about war in general. Why can't we just solve things in a peaceful way? I know, very pollyanna of me.<br /><br />But as horrible as both of my son's deployments have been. And I mean the worst nightmares you can think of. No one should witness the things he has. There are from day to day kernals of goodness. I think of the personal encounters that my son has had that are not part of the war. The Iraqi cook who fed him a special meal, being able to save the life of a little boy injured in a blast in his apartment building (my son's a medic), having no boundaries when it comes to choosing life. I could go on with little stories. But the thing is, no matter how bad it is, there are little day to day things that bring goodness to life. No matter where you are, I think there is no where that goodness can't go. Mostly, you just have to look for it. Find the opportunities.SummersStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250150360701388415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-54511621915480940902010-10-05T07:00:56.824-05:002010-10-05T07:00:56.824-05:00I believe that there is a bit of goodness everywhe...I believe that there is a bit of goodness everywhere - not from everyone - but somewhere in the chaos is a spot of goodness. <br /><br />I saw goodness in my husband yesterday when he took a few minutes to calm after seeing our daughter's fender bender. He regrouped, went to her and gave her a hug. Take my word for it, it took love, and goodness. lolLori Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808703279193470654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-43120839029887777442010-10-04T15:19:53.230-05:002010-10-04T15:19:53.230-05:00It's always been a mystery to me how people wh...It's always been a mystery to me how people who are in involved things like terrorism, extreme-ist groups, etc... Will often harm others but tend to be good to one another.<br />I also live in a town that is rich in Civil War history and it is often said that during breaks in the battle at days end, the soldiers from neighboring camps spoke with one another, traded goods and were generally friendly. The next day it was back to the war front. <br />Goodness will ALWAYS find it's way. swopemelmelswopemelmelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-47159977904847958662010-10-04T11:22:53.429-05:002010-10-04T11:22:53.429-05:00AH Good and evil is part of the human condition.

The question is not ' is there any place goodness can't go? but rather, can you find goodness everywhere? and the answer is yes, we just have to look for it, even in the darkest of places.

Think of an absolutely dark room. If you light a match, that match shines through, almost brilliantly. That is the way goodness is. Even in the most bleak circumstances, there is always some good that shines through. I've seen it enough to know that, no matter what, you cannot keep goodness out.rosebud101https://www.blogger.com/profile/04266675372008597168noreply@blogger.com
