"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers–so many caring people in this world." – Fred Rogers

I saw someone post this quote on FaceBox in response to the attacks in Paris.

Our world contains evil. There are bad people out there.

But there are more good ones.

There is more love than hate.

There are more friends than enemies.

There are more helpers than killers.

I have always believed that no matter how bad it seems, the world is at least 51% good and that because of this good will win out in the end.

The events in Paris are a stark reminder that the world isn’t 100% good, but the response afterward reminds us 51% is probably shooting a little low.

Create some space for yourself this week as you think about this tragedy to also think about all the good out there in the world.

Make it a great day.
