Good Stories
Ms Underestimated sent along a link to a column by Larry Elder. The title is "Profiles in Everyday Courage." And read the comments, too. You can go now, I'll wait. It's a short read.
No really, go ahead and read it and then come back when you're done. I'm not going anywhere.
Put things in perspective, doesn't it? Did you read the comments? There's amazing people all around you. This is the reason that politics matter to me -- because I want everyone to have the freedom to show their own courage every day. Socialism destroys freedom. Socialism destroys hope. Socialism won't allow individual courage because everyone has to be the same. Socialism is the Democrat Party platform.
So take a minute today, on your way home, and just try and find one person. Just find one. And act a little different. You don't have to be nice, if that's not your style, but at least don't be mean. And thank God for what you have because you could lose it all in a minute.

*sigh* Too many times I hear the same things but nobody seems to care. Me, I'm the one who will strike up a conversation while standing in checkout lines, or amuse the babies so Mama can look at the goods, or smile at the harried cashier while helping to bag my own groceries and setting them in the carts, or allow somebody with few items to go ahead of me, or stop the traffic to let somebody out when I see a long line of cars behind me, or pull over as far as I can to let police, ambulances, and firetrucks through... I know that's supposed to be a law but do you know how many people actually obey it?... almost none.
A smile, a nod, or some kind of small acknowledgment can do more good than any amount of demanding and expecting.

Thanks for posting this Ogre. We need to lift each other up one at a time. We all can have an impact, even smiling at each person does help make it a slightly better world.

I hate people, but that doesn't mean I can't be nice to them. I just need to do it a little bit more often, I think.
