Random thoughts floating aimlessly in my head..

There's always lots of thoughts randomly going through my head. I just have a few things that I wanted to throw out there for consideration. Comment on your thoughts on things too whether I know you or not or whether you have a blog or not. You can leave me your thoughts on things too. I like to know what other people think of things.

There is something I don't understand. How is it that despite all the good people there are in this world, there are so many bad ones as well? 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" makes me consider this stuff a lot. One family in need brings out entire communities to help. The donate their time to help build safer, healthier homes for people who, they may not have ever met before. Another thing was the community response in wake of the California wildfires. Here in San Diego, students and others spent time at Qualcomm helping serve food and get supplies to evacuated people. Back at home, the Red Cross held a money drive to raise funds to donate to victims of the fires. A woman at my church who works for the Red Cross told of her personal experience working at that money drive that tightened my throat. A family came and brought a bottle of coins, saying that had been their savings for 2 years and they were there to donate it to help. Without a second thought of possibly needing the money for themselves, this family did what they could to help those they didn't know. Good things all of them.

But then you think about why we had some of those fires-arson. Someone intentionally lit fire in brush to do damage. People lost their homes, were injured physically, emotionally from fire, psychological effects and personally when homes were looted after people were evacuated. Makes you wonder, does the person or people that did this feel any remorse about this? Are they feeling guilt for doing this to people? It makes me sick and sad to think of all those in the world that steal, set fires, abuse others and kill others just for the hell of it. Do they regret any of it later? Do they care?

I wish we could hear more stories on the news of people doing good things. A break from all the bad. Sometimes I just need to be reminded of the good in the world in the midst of all the bad, I guess.
