A Moment



I generally don't write like this on my blog but what is going on? In the world? Does anybody really have a clue? 
I feel like this week has been a crazy reminder of just how bad everything is getting. Like what is going on in humanity? And how can people really treat each other this way? It makes me sad to think  that our world has come to this place. This place where things you hear about in the news seem normal. And where people have little to no regard for each other anymore. Well I am here to say that I regard humanity Even strangers... I regard them. I love them. I want our world to be better. And I want to make what's around me beautiful. 
When I think about little K growing up and going off into this crazy world I want him to do the same. I want to teach him to see the bright side in this sad world. To love people. And to make places beautiful. I saw this drawing a few weeks ago, when a friend posted it, and I have just been so captivated by it ever since. Its a picture of all the Utah temples drawn on top of each other. It's sort of genius right? I know at times like these this is the place I can turn to. I know there is a reason for everything. I know that there is a plan in all of this. And somehow I've gotten to this point where I know there is still good in the world. I know there are still good people out there
 Its like at the moment at the very end of Anne Frank where she says that people are really good at heart... and as a 7th grader your sitting there thinking how crazy Anne is for actually saying this considering what all is happening in Germany... Well I get it now Anne. I get it.  I get exactly what you were trying to say. And I believe whole heartedly that there still is good left in the world, and that people really are good at heart.
