Trying to articulate a thought:
A few days ago we witnessed a house burn down in our neighborhood. We actually called 911. Nobody was hurt. House mostly destroyed.
It made me think of how I and the people nearby wanted to help. Badly. We made sure that nobody was inside. Called for help. People want to help their fellow man. People do help their fellow man. People sacrifice, heroically sometimes, to help and save those in need. Fires are a dramatic case but make the point. People give food, money and shelter. Why? Because life is valuable. Human life is sacred. You don’t need to believe in God to know life is valuable and with saving, even at a great personal price. You don’t even think about it. It just happens.
So - people will share, give, fight for sacrifice for, each other. This comes out when these great needs present themselves, like a fire. It gave me a lot of hope in people.
I think whoever is pulling all these psy ops and bull crap the last few years (and beyond) want us to forget this. I think they want us to be numb to the need of our neighbor. Distracted. Depressed. Hopeless. I feel like they want to degrade our God given dignity, the goodness of being alive, of our bodies, of humanity.
God called the creation “good” when He made it. He called man “very good”. We know this, in spite of all our failures and brokeness, we are good. Worth saving. That’s why we help each other.
So, we must remember our goodness. The value of all life. And I think we will. Because we will give so much to help when people are in need. I believe good will win.
