Eternal Optomist

I don't care what people say about how slow we were to action to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, I am still amazed at the generosity of people. So many people, so wholly unconnected with the situation are willing to lend their support to these people in need. And not just people, animals too. I was tremendously moved by this one picture of a young girl, who became homeless after the devastating hurricane hit, yet she saw an abandoned dog in need and took it upon herself to take care of him. She didn't need to do that. Goodness knows she wasn't in any better circumstances, but she found the compassion to help this poor animal. And I hear of people, so desparate to be able to do something. And those that can do and do greatly, sometimes sacrificing their own lives to do so. It brings me to tears. I truly believe that in everyone there is some goodness, no matter what those eternal pessimists think.
