Please Tell Me What's Good In The World

[nimkekaa]

I am really struggling with how I see the world right now. I am usually one of those people that if the world throws me lemons then I make lemonade. But right now all I see is abusers with all the power, victims always in a no win situations, bullies everywhere, nobody willing to do the right thing as it will put them out etc.... It's seems useless to try and live in a world that is always trying to hurt you. I know it's not all that way but that's all I see right now.

I need to see the world as a place worth living in again. I know there is a thread about what you live for but it's usually personal things like our children. I want to know all the good things that are happening in the world. Where a victim gets justice, or even a simple caring act of kindness like a neighbour sending you over dinner when your sick.

Any small pieces of goodness in this world would be greatly appreciated.

Well the first and obvious goodness that comes to mind I can say is 'you'. You have always taken the time and despite the (my) content to offer support, love and kindness to me, to validate me and to share your own story to do so, even if that has been hard for you.

I think the kindnesses or love that people offer to each other each day, large or small, don't scream for attention the way negative actions do. Often the only people who know about them are the giver and receiver.

Thanks Junebug. You made me cry in a good way. I needed that. :hug:

Ditto Junebug :)

you are the good thing nothing else matters unless you choose to make it important to you personally. Most things are out of our hands. We continue to survive focusing on how other behave and what their attitudes are allowing it to make a difference to our lives even though we are not directly involved with it.

We cannot change others behaviour, it is how they are. By being the good in life you live that path and you can only do so far. Mostly have pride in knowing that despite everything and everyone else you remain the good in life. :)

best wishes
Saffy :)

Oh Saffy, how sweet you are :hug: .

I'm kind of amazed to hear such words.

Best wishes to YOU. :)

Nimkekaa, Saffy is right. I look to the people who are like you, and Saffy, so I needn't look far for examples of goodness in the world. :hug:

It is wonderful to have started the thread. I think that there are a lot of good things in the world, that we take advantage of or do not notice. For example, human rights. That wasn't part of life a few hundert years ago. And also the internet. The internet is allowing for so much progress, that wasn't possible before.

And of course, this forum! The forum is such a blessing.... really. I think it has saved many already.

I look to the people who are like you, and Saffy,

And we look to people like you!

And of course, this forum

So right Nadia. I receive so much from this forum.

Some of my most intensely happy moments were on the top of tall tall buildings. Looking out over a whole city and seeing all the buildings that man has built somehow enriches my heart and soul. All the petty things, the back stabbing and the evil deeds take a back seat when looking down on civilization from the tops of buildings or mountains. I live way out in the mountains now and I can tell you that looking out from the top of a mountain at a whole range of them is pure awesomeness! If you get the chance ever, take it!
